#journorequest: local reporter looking for anyone who got stuck on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on Saturday, 7/18. Firsthand accounts of how drivers responded to the unfolding situation would be welcome. Following on to this story: https://t.co/ICMIX3RIz9

@kerrywnolan I’m really sad to hear this. I enjoyed your morning newscasts.

I also have little messages like these throughout my camera roll, and the way @dodaistewart describes them is so poetic – "In a city that shouts and blares, these are little whispers, with voices as varied and distinctive as New Yorkers themselves."

"It will be interesting to see where we go in the future, as people’s lives become more intertwined in cyberspace. Maybe next we’ll be 'defunct online', or 'permanently online'? We’ll just have to wait and see." https://t.co/J26ju3v0Tu+

Please spare a thought for the 100 people at @npr, 10% of the workforce, being laid off today, Thurs and Fri due to a $30 million advertising shortfall. The people I've met at NPR are passionate, sharp and warm. We all stand on each other's shoulders.

Looking forward to the day when my work doesn't just get published, but instead *appears* somewhere

Reporting this story for @npr was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had so far in my career – and also the most memorable. And somehow, all my recording gear remained intact! https://t.co/incCfietlk

1/ Before they end up in Martha’s Vineyard or NYC, a growing number of migrants first pass through a remote part of South Texas around Eagle Pass.

@MPenalozaNPR and I went there to find out why. 🧵

@HC_onley clear AF?

[Austin Cope @austinpcope]

I’m learning to use a DSLR camera and I can’t get autofocus puns out of my head. As in, autofocus is great AF
