Congrats on your retirement, Mike. We are going to miss you! @WhitReporter

Wishing the best to colleague Mike Sprague @WhitReporter as he steps away from his keyboard to begin a new life chapter. "A man of unrivaled experience and commitment when it comes to the Whittier area and the San Gabriel Valley," said executive editor @fpine. @WhittierNews

If you don’t subscribe to our newspapers, here’s a cheap way to do so, online-only! (If all you ever read is my columns, and I write my usual 150 or so in a year, that’s less than 7 cents each. But surely you would read more of our stories than that.) https://t.co/H8SnCxfrND

Very proud of the series we put together for the 10-year anniversary of San Bernardino filing for bankruptcy. Glad we were able to tell this story in a fresh, engaging way. Great work all around by @SoCalNewsGroup on such an ambitious project.

[Brooke E. Staggs @JournoBrooke]

Hey now, that's a happy surprise on this Wednesday! (Btw, doesn't the recall feel like it was three years ago?) Thanks to everyone who spoke to me for these stories, and to @immouch for edits. Pretty cool that we sandwiched this category! Link in 🧵 to the recognized stories.

A few days after publishing my first story on Bay Area COVID fines, a florist I profiled told me someone came into her shop and handed her $350 to cover her fine.

It’s an amazing feeling getting recognized for this work, but impact like that is what really keeps me coming back.

@jhwill So sorry for your loss, James. Sincerely. My heart goes out to you and your family.

[Vanessa Franko @vanessafranko]

This week is the 4th anniversary of Festival Pass. I started this little newsletter thinking that maybe people who read our #Coachella coverage might be interested in having it sent to them and reading about other festivals.@watcharaphotog's photo from 2017 topped the first one!

[EthanBaron 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @ethanbaron]

How serious is the new COVID wave? Worse than we know, it seems: 'Underreporting, driven by changes in testing behavior, lack of public interest and severely underfunded local public health departments, create a perfect storm of misleading case counts and hospitalizations.'

[Beau Yarbrough ⌚🐕 @LBY3]

The regular reminder for would-be elected officials: When the registrar of voters asks for your contact information for journalists to use, it's not a trick. It's how we reach you to set up interviews, which you want, especially as a newcomer with no name recognition or money.

[Frank Pine @fpine]

Nice column, @TeriSforza. https://t.co/ZvGYSky6bW

[Frank Pine @fpine]

@LBY3 But you got the job, @lby3. You got the job!
