Breaking: @wamu885 has made access to all published DCist stories available to the public for at least one year as it seeks a long-term home for the archive. The archives are available at https://t.co/eCJmTpubvB

[WeMakeWAMU is a union @WeMakeWAMU]

It is imperative that @SylviaBurwell, Seth Grossman, Erika Pulley-Hayes, and Michael Tribble #UnlockDCist. It’s a matter of democracy.

See our letter below. We encourage you to share:

[WeMakeWAMU is a union @WeMakeWAMU]

This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

[American Archive of Public Broadcasting @amarchivepub]

Is your child texting about media preservation?

wyd: where’s your data?
bff: broken file format
lol: love our library
dm: digital master
pda: preserved data already
lmao: local material archival originals
rotfl: recording on the final laserdisc

@MaintenancePod So obviously to avoid heartbreak I would just do the same thing Aubrey's nephew does: sit watching TV and shake it back and forth! 3/3

[Greta Pittenger @regreters]

@MaintenancePod The animations of it walking were very cute, and when it received gifts, it would do fun little special animations. Near bedtime, it would brush its teeth. If you didn't walk enough, it would get angry and turn its back to you and refuse to respond to you. It broke my heart. 2/

As fer me, please send all science, environment, podcast, narrative, and other intriguing journalism/scicomm jobs my way. Also open to dinner party invitations, road trip adventures, and joyful shenanigans of all types.

[Gabriel Spitzer @gabrielspitzer]

I’m afraid I am one of the casualties. Working w/the team @NPRShortWave for the past year has been a beautiful dream, and unfortunately now it’s time to wake up.

Please do send me your job listings/freelance opportunities. And you should keep listening to the show; I sure will.

[Austin Fast🎙 @a_fast]

Off to buy some @AZLottery tickets because my luck is HOT today! The U.S. is in a period of fewer #layoffs, but the #NPRLayoffs still found me!

[Chiara Eisner 🎤 @ChiaraEisner]

I was laid off @NPR as part of the massive cuts. I loved the i-team and wanted to stay for years, but here we are.

Please let me know if you're looking for a multimedia, bilingual reporter w/ experience investigating environment, healthcare, tech, immigration & criminal justice.

[Jessica Hansen 💚🥥🌴💚 @JessActs]

I came from a freelance life, and that’s where I’ll be focusing now. If you need a VO artist, actor, or voice coach, I’m your gal! You can find me at https://t.co/vekVssMu4p (sign up for my mailing list if you want to follow my doings!)

Thank you for listening, and stay tuned.

[BDG Union @bdgunion]

This is clearly unfair retaliation by management. We need your support to get BDG back to the negotiating table and to reach a fair first contract now. Please send a letter to Bryan Goldberg: https://t.co/9hRnSCWMJ7

[Reveal CIR Guild 🔍✏️📉🎙️🎥 @RevealCIRGuild]

1/ We, the staff of @reveal, are forming a union!

Unionizing will help us create the best version of Reveal, protect our work and mission, and preserve this organization’s legacy. This is our mission statement. #RevealCIRGuild

[Greta Pittenger @regreters]

@BrianMannADK @npr_rad @NPR @HornbakeLibrary I also hope @npr_rad can work with member stations in the future to preserve more #publicmedia stories. I'm glad you're talking about this @BrianMannADK! I'll add this victory I heard about today - a win for @amarchivepub & a win for public media archives https://t.co/frRVNHZ84B

[Greta Pittenger @regreters]

@BrianMannADK @npr_rad @NPR @HornbakeLibrary But of course that work requires funding. We currently archive everything internally on a daily basis, as well as ensure the preservation/reformatting of older formats. Making the archive publicly (and easily!) accessible is ultimately the goal.

[Greta Pittenger @regreters]

@BrianMannADK Was this voice from a story done for NPR or broadcast on an NPR show? If so, we definitely have it in the NPR archives! Please email us at @npr_rad and we can help you find it.

[NYTimesGuild @NYTimesGuild]

Good morning, @nytimes. We solved today's crossword for you.
