A friend got me hired on GI Joe 2 as “post-vis coordinator” when I was 24 and my first question day 1 was “what is post-vis?” When we wrapped they told me I was the best post-vis coordinator they’d ever worked with

what’s left to say about an industry that’s crumbling in front of our eyes, about companies that continue to decimate creativity & integrity in the name of profit, that crush humanity for the sake of surplus. it’s exhausting & unfair and soul sucking. we deserve so much better

I know everyone is dunking on this, but I’m going to add on.

Last year @Gannett laid off at least 600 ppl and stopped filling 400 jobs. People had to wait almost 2 months for their severance, which btw was capped at 26 years.

Local this, local that. Where are the priorities?

Yesterday I was given a layoff notice at the LATimes. I’ve given my heart and soul to the company. I’ve given nights and weekends away from home for the work. I’ve given a lot more than any "job" so it feels pretty dark. @latguild

The thing that most alarms me about the new media layoffs—mine included—is that publications are giving up on incubating and developing early-career staff writing talent. I have learned so, so much at Nat Geo. It breaks my heart that fewer people will have the opportunity I did.

Local journalists are often seen as lesser. Universities tout their grads who go to large pubs & imply that those who go to small pubs are their weaker students. But local journalism is HARD. It is writing 2-3 stories a day. And taking the photos. And designing it. And editing it

SEE IT: Eleven days after the Surfside building collapse, the remaining part of the building has been demolished over safety concerns. Here's the view of demolition from the water. https://t.co/RcHzNj4m9z

Brent, Mary Louise and these oysters showed me the true meaning of reliving and that nature has all of the answers if we just choose to listen and take action.

[Alicia Cherem @cherem_a]

an update for my five followers: been hustling at @13NewsNow for six months and I am very happy to be able to share this piece with you! so grateful that Brent and Sarah allowed me to capture such a special moment. @LRNow

[Alicia Cherem @cherem_a]

but this story clearly showed to me that life continues beyond our passing. Every time someone sees that sign, Mary Louise’s life in some way continues. They might not know her, but her name is there lingering on an oyster reef that was also given a second life.
