Some personal news... I am excited to be named managing editor of @MPRNews and to work with a talented team of journalists in the Twin Cities and beyond. I’m here to serve all the citizens of Minnesota #letsdothis 💥 https://t.co/5ExFkyoEJ2

Attention Midwestern journos: this sounds like an exciting opportunity — hosting a statewide talkshow in Indiana.

As 2020 ends, with a better 2021 coming, here’s what makes me grateful about democracy:

#1: I’m grateful for the voters of Minnesota.

Despite a once-in-a-century pandemic, our voters leaned in, stepped up, and set records; best in voter turnout for the 3rd election in a row!

Incredibly sad news. @tiffanyshack welcomed me and countless others to DC with her boundless energy, making us feel part of something special. I will never forget her extraordinary ability to create community.

[Matt Mansfield @mattmansfield]

Heartbroken by the death of @tiffanyshack, a force for @SND and @ONA and so many great causes. She was a brilliant & funny person, a great friend, a tireless volunteer, a relentless advocate. Sending all the love to her husband, Aaron, and son, Sam.

[John Stefany @jstefany]

A great choice for an important role in the Twin Cities

This started at 10am. It’s hard to capture how much food has shown up to Sanford Middle School in one image. It’s astounding and I know this is happening at other places in the city too.

El Nuevo Rodeo had broken windows on first night of Minneapolis protests but burned down completely on second. I hope our state comes together to help them—and all small businesses—rebuild bigger and better. (This is a glimpse inside amazing club, shot in 2008 for Pioneer Press)

[John Stefany @jstefany]

Important work by @mprnews, @StarTribune and other local journalists under extremely difficult conditions. Local reporting by folks who know the community matters.

Hats off to the @MPRnews journalists who’ve been covering various angles of the George Floyd story. From breaking news to talk shows, our team is informing, connecting and creating space for community voices.
