CHEERS! We’re honored to bring home the @beardfoundation Award for Food Coverage in General Interest Magazine + Shane Mitchell wearing two medals today, one for Feature Reporting for BS story on Vidalia onions “Blood Sweat and Tears” & the MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award.

[Bitter Southerner @BitterSouth]

Thank you @beardfoundation and thank you to everyone who reads our stories and books and listens to our podcast. Let’s keep stirring the pot!

[Shane Mitchell @shanegoesforth]

This is my kind of bling bag. Still a bit shocked, but maybe this will amplify the voice of a whistleblower who hoped that his story brings change to a broken agricultural system.

[Jan Winburn @janwinburnCNN]

Congrats @shanegoesforth on two (!) James Beard awards for a story on the onion we all love and its hidden costs to humanity.

With inflation at its highest in 40 years, you may think you know all the causes. Here’s one you likely missed. @MichaelGrabell takes you on a journey in which hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of quickly ripening bananas hang in the balance. https://t.co/oNmDqrAnHS

The work @janwinburnCNN is doing is vital. She created a class @umontana focused on "The Worst Day Ever: Writing about Trauma." Her sensitive guide to interviewing victims of trauma is as helpful to journalists as it is to her students https://t.co/ZNCBE21Jlb via @niemanstory

[Jan Winburn @janwinburnCNN]

4 students in my trauma class at @UMJSchool will be featured in @niemanstory over the next few weeks. They interviewed pros who do this work with sensitivity: @TheMoniBasu @RoamingRavitz @jdsutter and NPR's Nate Rott.

@KVanValkenburg Beautiful essay! Like Steinbeck (and legions of others I’m sure) I’ve fallen in love with your home state. “For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it's difficult to analyze love when you're in it.”

A UM professor says a woman’s purpose is having babies and that a woman's value decreases past age 20, among other assertions, in an online blog reported to the University.
