Day 2 of work from home thanks to #Covid_19. Flerken is so happy that he can bother us all day.

Hey, that's my photo! #onassignment for @Cronkite_ASU

[NBC News PR @NBCNewsPR]

Ahead of @LesterHoltNBC receiving the 2019 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism today, he spoke with more than 300 @Cronkite_ASU students in the school’s First Amendment Forum.

Felt like I needed a change

[Ellen O'Brien @e_obrie]

Today I confirmed what I already knew: #photo journalism is the best kind of #journalism (but it's still fun to play videographer once in a while)

[Ellen O'Brien @e_obrie]

First day reporting for @news21 in Charleston, @AnnaHuntsman_ really captured the #mood 😂

[Ellen O'Brien @e_obrie]

We definitely aren't in Arizona any more #onassignment

2019 is off to a good start ❤️

Journalists need a list like this - just one-sentence summaries of the most important news of the day. Thanks to @SuperstitionRev for helping me catch up on my literary news for the week!

[Superstition Review @SuperstitionRev]

Looking to catch up on some quick news? Well then look no further ! https://t.co/LjVIWgbomJ

Great to hear @kayleeplease share her thoughts on about "Nothing"! This surreal and evocative story was one of my favorite pieces of fiction from Issue 20 of @SuperstitionRev

[Superstition Review @SuperstitionRev]

Guys go check out @kayleeplease podcast on her piece “Nothing” that was featured in Issue 20. You don’t want to miss it. https://t.co/IEY8Jiqi5a

I started out reading this article by @lithub for the cover art, and the philosophy nerd in me ended up reading it for the book recommendations 😁 @DrEugeniaCheng's "The Art of Logic in an Illogical World" is definitely on my Amazon wish list now...

[Superstition Review @SuperstitionRev]

We know they say don’t read books by their covers but these covers from @lithub list are certainly eye catching enough to pull one off the shelf

When you let your bf use your DSLR to take a professional headshot and he's never used back-button focus before 😁

If you're making an #opedguess, check out @TheEconomist's analysis of what makes a writer's style unique. Even if you're not interested in the identity of the #Anonymous White House insider, it's a fascinating look at how writers use of language differently.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Rather than rare, striking words, it is humbler, smaller ones that make anonymous authors easier to identify https://t.co/lwwwIaA4ja

This story on @NoMoreDeaths was one of my favorites to shoot for this summer. Check out the full story by @RebeccaSpiessL:

Achieving equality, they argue, will require not just preparing girls for paid work, but also teaching boys to do unpaid work. https://t.co/OraxaLpTju via @nytimes

Great reporting by @TaylerBrown19 and @EmRichardsonPHX! (I just took the photos)

From fronds to food, #Phoenix is working with a #California company to reduce landfill #trash by making cattle feed. Read more: https://t.co/uTet2F778A

Hey friends, here’s an infographic I made. At the top, I have the US-Mexico migrant deaths reported by the @MissingMigrants project. At the bottom, I have deaths reported by Border Patrol.

They don’t really line up.
(note: bottom graph is in fiscal years)

I'm out with @VivianMMeza1 and @Nicole_H102 this morning at one of the Connect 202 construction sites! The project spans 22 miles and is @ArizonaDOT's largest project ever.

[Ellen O'Brien @e_obrie]

Next week is shark week! Who's excited for a behind-the-scenes look at how @OdySeaAquarium cares for its sharks?? ✋

[Cronkite News @cronkitenews]

In order to keep #sharks comfortable in the #desert, the @OdySeaAquarium has tanks that hold up to 450,000 gallons of water. The water is pumped through over 300 miles of pipes to keep the shark habitats clean.

[Ellen O'Brien @e_obrie]

Photos from my trip to Ajo. We spent the day following three #volunteers for No More Deaths while they left food and water along migrant trails in the #sonorandesert. The Pima County… https://t.co/R0ApbscalZ

It was a bumpy ride, but we made it! Check back later for cool photos on Instagram 👀
