🧵 6 years ago today, a man armed with a shotgun entered the @capgaznews newsroom in Annapolis, MD, and shot multiple journalists, media workers.
5 people were killed in the attack, and 2 others were injured.
It was the deadliest single attack on journalists in U.S. history.

Congratulations to all the journalists who won #PulitzerPrizes today. They all did great work. But besides awards for breaking news reporting and photography, I think awards should be given for other categories as well. Things like: (1/5)
Today, @TaylorSwift13 released #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment, her 8th album in the 4 years. We haven’t dropped any albums (yet) but we do release new episodes of our podcast, The Watchdog Report, each week.

Also judging an entire album based on a few out of context lyrics you saw on the internet is lame. That is all, I’m going to finish listening to The Anthology now lol
Some personal faves from the album so far at the moment include:
- Florida!!!
- So high school
- I can do it with a broken heart
- Who’s afraid of little old me?

“LOCAL JOURNALISM IS FOUNDATIONAL TO DEMOCRACY. IT IS A PUBLIC SERVICE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. ALL REPORTERS DESERVE THE SUPPORT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS A FAIR LIVING WAGE.”
My coworker @nourhb & I held a small vigil to honor those being killed.
As the Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom says “During any conflict, journalists are civilians under international humanitarian law. They must be respected and protected.”
