We're hiring for a DEVELOPER at @MarshallProj so I thought I'd share some of the things I love about being a newsroom developer here. Behold, a thread! https://t.co/jj6eMXLlkh
design awards are besides the point and often a red herring, but they do feel good and who am i to turn down a great opportunity to recognize the fantastic work of my colleagues
which is all to say, @MarshallProj took home a whole bunch of @SND awards this year! thread!!
For more than 5 years, @marshallproj & @thenexttodie learned a lot tracking every execution in the U.S. More than 230 people were given death dates; 120 were executed. https://t.co/olbDAa8cqO -TM
