🗞️Some personal news: After 11 years at the mighty @MiamiHerald, I am leaving to join @GlobeSpotlight at the @BostonGlobe. I'm thrilled for this next adventure and looking forward to joining one of the most storied and fearless investigative teams in U.S. journalism.

[Joey Flechas @joeflech]

Kudos to the great team in Miami for this well-deserved recognition!

this is a much smarter and honest attempt at video journalism from another legacy newspaper

keep and celebrate the regional accent. don’t do the broadcast voice people don’t trust anymore. just turn on a camera on an interesting person and you are on your way.

Go work for the institution that created me, @romyellenbogen, @joeflech, @kathrynvarn, @KatieLSanders and a bunch of incredible reporters who if I named them all would exceed the character limit of this post.

‘I hate it when the mommies cry.’ At Mass. and Cass, people can disappear for days, weeks — or years.

Our earlier investigation revealed widespread police misconduct around confidential informants in New Bedford.

Now we're looking across Massachusetts. What we found: Instead of safeguarding against informant abuse, prosecutors enable it. https://t.co/fsa6odWo75
