If it’s true that Coach Prime @DeionSanders is headed to Colorado, Jackson State and the state of Mississippi owe him a debt of gratitude. He didn’t use @JacksonStateU to get to the next level. He was already there. Hope he stays. Thank him if he goes.

Today was my last day at WOSU Public Media. Looking forward to joining the team @NJAdvanceMedia. Thanks OSU administrators for your support.

95-year-old Mary Hoffman has been busy recently. She got married, and she’s writing a book on her years as classical director @WOSU. She stopped by our new headquarters to do an interview with classical host Christopher Purdy. An amazing person who is true OSU.

Wishing James Meredith a happy 89th birthday. His battle to integrate Ole Miss in 1962 has literally changed thousands of lives.

@JonBatiste is true New Orleans. Congrats on a really big, life-changing night.

In Columbus, Ohio downtown library today with CEO and saw @TayariJones best-seller displayed prominently. She’s one of my wife’s besties from @SpelmanCollege. Trust me, Tayari got skills.

Wishing my friend Tom Rieland the very best in retirement. @WOSU owes Tom its gratitude and admiration for 19 years of outstanding leadership. A great run!

Last year this time I was a managing editor with no one to manage and nothing to edit (freaking out and making job offers in my sister’s sunroom). But hey! Look at us now! We had our last team huddle of the year today and I'm really proud of the Gulf States Newsroom✨

[Ronnie Agnew @ronagnew]

Thrilled to be selected to lead @wosu as its next general manager. Love my people at @MPBOnline. Will miss them greatly. Excited about the new opportunity. https://t.co/CjLsL5At5h

My mother-in-law’s serious about Thanksgiving. Already cooking. Me? Eating salad everyday until the big holiday. #family

It’s hot. There is stench. But when faced with losing all that you have worked for, you endure. My day helping my sister clean up from Hurricane Ida in LaPlace, La. was an experience with all of it. Pray for the people as they rebuild. Would appreciate prayers for my sister, too.

Journalist Curtis Wilkie and Judge Charles Pickering here @MPBOnline to discuss Curtis’s book “When Evil Lived in Laurel.” Panel was supposed to participate in the Mississippi Book Festival, cancelled due to COVID concerns. Case was a big moment in the civil rights era.

No one believes in freedom more than I do. I’ve lost four friends and relatives to the delta variant in the past few weeks. Several people I know have tested positive. It hurts. I’ve heard arguments challenging the science behind the vaccines. I don’t understand. #getvaccinated

[Ronnie Agnew @ronagnew]

@currentpubmedia We need more journalism, not less. The news hubs are a part of the solution to fill in journalism gaps across the country.

[Ronnie Agnew @ronagnew]

Calling on everyone to get vaccinated. No politics here. Just trusting the science. Mississippi’s @TCBPubHealth has done a fantastic job of educating our people. Trust this man. Please!

Celebrating the creator, the great I am, the reason for the season.

[Ronnie Agnew @ronagnew]

Please listen to Dr. Dobbs. If not for you, then for me.

@SameWells @JacksonStateU @DeionSanders Prime will ‘steal’ 3 or 4 recruits from the big guys. There will be an impact. Not sure about wins, but he will up their recruiting.

[Ronnie Agnew @ronagnew]

Congrats @JacksonStateU for landing @DeionSanders as head football coach. What a great acceptance speech.
