Turns out you need the photogs, not the reporters, of the royal rota to tell you what the British monarchy's really like.

This is the kind of story that should be taught in journalism schools. Bravo to @AndrewKersley for the dogged investigation and humane reporting on Tracey Turnell's tragic death and her mother, Joan. (Free to read): https://t.co/CaNn09U7iE

@dieworkwear Your footnotes! So dreamy. Might be my favorite aspect of this piece.

I haven’t had a car since we were using cassette adapters to play our iPods, so all of the onboard tech is fun and new to me…but tell me why I get a notification that the car isn’t locked *while* I’m sitting in the car??

New: Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. https://t.co/CdX5i3SKZN

I interned for Conan back in 2007. He does bits for everyone all the time. I’m only 19 at the time, manning the reception desk, Conan strolls up to rifle through the gum basket (there was always a variety of chewing gum at reception), I’m terrified.

Conan: Extra gum, is it extra good?

Me: um…yeah?

20 years later and I still kick myself for not having anything clever to say in return.

Wait there are people who don’t have a dedicated couch blanket?? Who are you and who hurt you?

[✦ 𝓢𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓮 ✦🪐 @upshine3]

Does anyone else have a couch blanket? Like a blanket that stays on your couch that you use when relaxing or is it just me?

Bruh the biggest barrier is that i am busy writing and reporting. Scripting, filming, editing, posting is a whole other bucket of labor being expected of journalists (on top of the production of raw reporting) while salaries and staff jobs get cut.

Almost all of these news influencers build their brand by commenting on reporting done by real journalists at legacy outlets.

[n. collins 🦇 @nathannotforyou]

my mentor told me good reporters are hard to manage because they’re not good at listening to authority.

and she’s right. to expect a reporter not to be defiant is like expecting to get records back immediately after requesting them.

it ain’t going to happen.
