Can’t tell you enough how critical @LATimes journalism was in helping our local disadvantaged farmworker communities, like #Pajaro, get the national attention they deserved so that our local, state and federal governments would respond to their needs in the aftermath of last year’s devastating storms.

It’s just shameful to see the LA Times Executives issue mass layoffs of so many great reporters and staff. Truly a dark day nationally for journalism that is so essential to our democracy!✊🏽 @LATvives

[Martina Ibáñez-Baldor @A_MartinaIbanez]

An absolutely devastating day for @latimes and @delosLAtimes. Everyone on the De Los team believed in the mission: telling Latino stories and serving our community. I'm heartbroken for my colleagues and for the future of my beloved paper.

[Brandon Carter @brandonetc]

today the @washingtonpost has taken the extraordinary step of publishing never-before-seen images of the aftermath of AR-15-involved shootings. it is difficult and tremendous work.

[this story contains extremely disturbing images and personal accounts]

Incredible data analysis by @MyDesert & @propublica finds 20 farming families in CA's Imperial Valley use 1.2 million acre-feet of Colorado River water — 1/7th of the entire Lower Basin flow. A single family uses more than the entire city of Las Vegas. https://t.co/aW3k7kEuQ9

One prison guard, 96 abuse charges : women say ‘serial rapist’ targeted them over a decade

What is the exceptional events rule? What you need to know about the loophole letting US regulators wipe air pollution from the record: https://t.co/fTWYTZusFi

[Leslie Cory @_lesliecory]

Across the US, local governments, lobbyists and industry have been excluding wildfire pollution from regulatory records.

Unfortunately, this piece I reported years ago for @npr (longer version on @NPRCodeSwitch) is “evergreen” as we say in journalism. It’s about the use of dehumanizing language: https://t.co/IHOWcfJKIi

[Hamilton Nolan @hamiltonnolan]

What distinguishes this moment in media is that for the past 20 years the assumption was that we were in a transition from print to online media and now it's clear that online media is dying and we don't seem to be transitioning into anything. Just less.

"If audiences are only shown what’s wrong... they’ll start to feel like these issues are insurmountable.... Psychologists call this ‘learned helplessness’, a state of fatalistic apathy that only tends to compound existing problems." - @georgiafrancesk https://t.co/g3RxcH5kce

I just wanted to work in news, not be the news.

Can't stop thinking about my colleagues impacted by @latimes layoffs, and, like others, wondering how you run a digital newsroom w/o supporting digital staff

[i keep waiting to hear a plan because ..surely there's gotta be one? apparently it's not AI tho https://t.co/HVS8r107nF]
