Immigration has become a top-of-mind issue for voters this election. At @propublica, we tried to understand the impact of new arrivals in the United States. This special, coordinated by @gingerthomp1, provides a mosaic of how immigrants have impacted the United States.
✨ personal news: ✨today was my first day at @MarshallProj, where I'll focus on bringing their coverage of the criminal justice system to a wider audience

I love the radio so damn much. It breaks my heart to see it slowly crumble away in my hometown. I'm thankful for the stories I got to produce for Notes from America, that pushed our understanding of race, provided a place to commune during hard times but also made space for joy
NEW:
Longtime WNYC veterans like Matt Katz are leaving the public radio station, and Nancy Solomon will take on a reduced role as New York Public Radio cuts costs to stave off a massive budget shortfall.

The most pressing thing I’ve wanted to say about Killers of the Flower Moon, especially to Native Women & Youth: See it when and only if you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with. You’ll likely have a lot of generational grief to process. You’re not alone.

watching the way most mainstream media outlets have been approaching this has made me feel like I am losing my mind but that “now here’s the weather” is the thing that will send me, laughing, into madness
Unfortunately, this piece I reported years ago for @npr (longer version on @NPRCodeSwitch) is “evergreen” as we say in journalism. It’s about the use of dehumanizing language: https://t.co/IHOWcfJKIi
Never in my life have I felt worse or angrier about our world and our roles in it than this past week. RIP to this beautiful child who was failed by his community, his country, its media, and so many others among us who have been complicit in dehumanization of people like him
After posting an Instagram story about the war in Gaza yesterday, my account was shadowbanned. Many colleagues and journalists friends have reported the same. It’s an extraordinary threat to the flow of information and credible journalism about an unprecedented war…
if delivery of information is intentionally failing (so, in some ways, succeeding) this spectacularly right now, imagine what has been ignored or not reported or underreported or misrepresented (or or or) in the decades prior to right now
information moves too quickly, people process and move on to the next hit of information — retractions protect the paper itself, but the lie has already traveled. This doesn’t serve the public (some of whom, it seemed to me, were a bit too eager for these stories to be true.)
I was laid off today w/ the rest of our @MorePerfect team. More later but:
1) We made some incredible work. For example, our episodes on viability upended how many listeners think about abortion & law. @gabrielleberbey@LennyJawton

I will never not love WNYC. Which is to say, I will always love the people who make it. And through their work, they’ve consistently shown they love their listeners, and their readers, and their city, and their world. Solidarity with my WNYC family past and present. And love.
Hi @frandrescher we are your fellow SAG-AFTRA members from @WNYC & would love your support. Some of the hardworking, brilliant people in this photo may not be here by the end of this week… https://t.co/4aAZRSpaQc
