Super excited to present my first of two sessions at #CollegeMedia18, this one on Representation in (and out) of the newsroom. @ellenmeder is here with me in spirit! Let’s do this 💪🏽

That moment when your doc tells you that you broke not 1, but 2 bones in your leg & need surgery. AND THEN says you won’t be flying to Louisville for #collegemedia18 by @acpress & @collegemedia next week!!! 😩😫😭

@nanfulcher A truly bizarre response considering the time, date and location for a public comment session have been listed on the website for more than a month & are still there now. Wish I were still in a job to follow up on this.

[Ellen Meder @ellenmeder]

Final note:2 members of the public, who were on the public comment roster for Sept (cancelled due to the hurricane w/o notice to them),couldn't access this month’s public comment form.They also thought today’s session was going on &were v disappointed when told it was off. #J711

The University of Southern California Race and Equity Center recently published a report card that in which NC State received an “F” in representation equity and a “B” in completion equity. https://t.co/bKA4CBGQpl

But seriously... if you go to Chapel Hill and don’t pick up a #MerrittsStore BLT and a @dailytarheel, were you ever really in #ChapelHill at all?

For context: @UNC’s Board of Trustees has til Nov. 15 to submit a lasting plan for the confederate memorial statue #SilentSam to the @UNC_System BoG, which will meet next on Nov. 9. No word on when public comment sign-ups open for that meeting. https://t.co/IZ0rue87ND #J711

[Ellen Meder @ellenmeder]

Both wanted to give comment on how the #SilentSam situation was handled, 1 was specifically displeased w the way a BoG member commented publicly on it. This is the 2nd public comment session since the Confederate memorial statue's toppling on Aug. 20 that's been canceled. #J711

[Ellen Meder @ellenmeder]

And now... back to my regularly scheduled, extremely spotty tweeting with this food for thought on the conundrum/quagmire that is Twitter for journalists from @AmPress & @JaneEliz. Still relevant a year later. #J711 https://t.co/Zpao39vipG
