@emma_ckeith Emma, the quality and depth of what The Transcript’s staff has done under your leadership are remarkable, especially amid continual financial pressures. I’m so sorry you are leaving journalism, but my wife and I both thank you for all you’ve done for our community.
Why I teach: I want to keep preparing journalists of the future to be reflective, ethical practitioners. I’m thankful for 25 years of working with smart, thoughtful students. #OUGivingDay#GoGaylord
One of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen: 2020 and 2021 @GaylordCollege @UofOklahoma graduates with a richly deserved in-person ceremony – after everything they have been through. Congratulations!
I survived a murderous newsroom shooting in 2018, losing five of my Capital Gazette family. their families destroyed. My head was nearly shot off, multiple slugs missing by a fraction of an inch. This stuff makes me sick. We're your neighbors, family and friends doing our best.
I’m proud of you, @GaylordCollege@UofOklahoma Class of 2020, for your excellence, creativity, ethics and perseverance. The middle of the 21st century is in your hands, and you will make a difference.
I spoke with a mental health professional today about things students can do to cope with a major change in routine (school being online), as well as general anxiety about COVID-19. THREAD:
This week I launched my 23rd edition of Journalism Ethics at @GaylordCollege@UofOklahoma. More excited to be doing it than ever. Fresh ideas from my research, great students – and it matters. #ethics
(1/3) ***Please watch the weather situation closely Monday through Tuesday morning***
Significant severe storms and flooding expected Monday through Tuesday morning.
(Please consider retweeting to get the word out)
11pm - the severe weather threat continues for most of our area overnight, including the risk for tornadoes. If we see tornadoes, they will be very brief, relatively weak, but unfortunately hard to warn for. Have ways to get a warning while you sleep (sirens don't count)
