In Sept. 2020, @WPR published a year’s worth of data from our ongoing sourcing project where we ask sources their demographics. We found we had a lot of work to do. Specifically when it came to the racial diversity of sources. One year later, how are we doing now?

@scottwongDC @NBCNews Way to go, Scott! Good luck in the new gig!

@UhligK @robertmentzer Keith is spot on! For decades now it's been possible to make "medium" cheddar and pass it off as colby. Deer Creek in Sheboygan makes an old-fashioned colby called The Robin. Open curd texture and buttery flavor, good stuff.

And now, Republican Sen. Steve Nass says he is drafting a new resolution to end the new emergency order that mandates masks.

"I will also be calling on senate leadership to consider filing for an emergency action in the Wisconsin Supreme Court.”

Terrifying new video of Trump rioters trying to break into the House chamber through the Speaker's Lobby as lawmakers are being escorted to safety.

excellent question. Political scientists? Lawyers? Anyone?

NBC News: A member of the US Senate says that VP Pence and Sen. Charles Grassley, the president pro-tem, have been taken to a secure location. The doors of the Senate have been closed and locked, and senators have been told to stay away from the doors. @PeteWilliamsNBC reports.

Another ruling against the Trump campaign this morning, this time in a state-level lawsuit challenging ballots cast in Dane and Milwaukee counties.

WI Elections Commission head Meagan Wolfe: "Wisconsin doesn’t have more votes than registered voters. It’s impossible. There were no absentee ballots found in the middle of the night. Lawyers and observers for both political parties were on-site and involved the entire time."

While the pandemic and election dominate the news cycle @DanielleKaeding continues coverage of a major WI issue that will outlast both.

[The Verge @verge]

President Trump struck a deal with Foxconn that promised to turn Wisconsin into a tech manufacturing powerhouse in exchange for billions in tax subsidies. Three years later, the factory — and the jobs — don’t exist, and they probably never will https://t.co/kIemaESwdw

A year and a half ago I pitched a project to my boss: let’s track the demographics of every source we have on air but let’s actually ask THEM to tell us, rather than make educated guesses (which is how a lot of other news outlets do it). (1/?)

[Laurel White @lkwhite]

Everyone has had something canceled/drastically changed/rescheduled in 2020. But, man, I was really looking forward to reporting from my first-ever national political convention this year. And in my home state. It's hard not to sit and imagine today, what it would've been like.
