Hi twitterverse. Friday was my last day at the Omaha World-Herald. I’m sticking around town, but I’m leaving the world of journalism for now.

I grew up reading the paper with my parents, and I delivered it to front porches in my neighborhood in middle school. (1/3)

@_equinn @liopleurodelly @janetherevelatr I feel no shame in throwing out A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire, too

@aliaconleyOWH @NebraskaSower I'm sorry, Alia. You've been a tireless advocate for that newsroom and paper, all while producing necessary, unflinching, empathetic journalism. You should be proud!

[Reece Ristau @reecereports]

@katiegarcianews Congrats! I always enjoyed working with you. Best of luck in Denver.

@_John_Handel @UVA @danbouk This is awesome. Great work, Prof!

.@ceditor is one of the hardest-working, most empathetic people I know. Her guidance & careful thinking were invaluable. Approached every story she touched with a careful eye & compassion. Lee's decision on her and @randyessex = heartless, greedy, short-sighted, & a bad biz move.

Our statement on @LeeEntNews heartless & seemingly thoughtless decision today to can two of our top editors.

And finally, Omaha's public library system is in store for some big changes ahead -- and the city may partner with a nonprofit whose donors have funded some of Omaha's biggest civic projects as it develops the library plan.

My name appeared 2x today in the @OWHnews.

"What is the cost of a 21-second birthday shoutout from a top player at one of the best volleyball schools...?"

@aliaconleyOWH Alia! Thank you. I will miss the frequency of the volleyball talk, coffee runs and gossip, but you know I’ll see you soon!

[Reece Ristau @reecereports]

@brianmastrewowt It was so great getting to work with you, Brian!

[Reece Ristau @reecereports]

@SaraGentzler Thank you, Sara. Nebraska is lucky to have you!

[Reece Ristau @reecereports]

I’m so happy to have contributed to that mission and look forward to cheering on @OWHnews and @owhguild from the sidelines. I appreciate everyone who has shared their perspective with me, or read our work. Thank you.

One more story to come!

Back then, I loved learning about everything happening in my city, or stumbling onto a really great story. As an intern in 2016, and again when I rejoined the paper in 2019, I was starstruck by the kind, talented, caring people who continue to put out vital local journalism (2/3)
