It was an honor to work alongside Tony and other @statesman colleagues on one of the most horrific news stories any of us have ever covered. I’m in awe of Tony and his dogged, tireless continual fight for information for these families and this community.

[Tony Plohetski @tplohetski]

My teammates and I @statesman are honored as one of two finalists for the Pulitzer Prize gold medal in public service for our coverage of the Uvalde mass shooting. (1/2)

@HollyTMoore @axios Congrats Holly! So excited for you!

[Jennifer Hefty @jenniferhefty]

It was fun to get to talk with @verykara on @AllJournalism about our recent experiments in Texting and SMS via @subtext. We constantly have to keep experimenting. What’s at stake if we don’t? Potentially losing out on being relevant to a whole generation of news consumers.

[It's All Journalism @AllJournalism]

LISTEN: @USAToday's @JenniferHefty and @Gannett's @VeryKara tell @AllJournalism about how they leveraged the SMS platform Subtext to text breaking news and public safety updates to their audience during Hurricane Ian.
