[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:

[Natalie Delgadillo @ndelgadillo07]

Still reeling at the enormous and unnecessary cruelty of completely erasing decades of D.C. history by wiping the entire DCist archive off the face of the internet. We should be able to access our clips and you (readers) should be able to look back on that historical record

[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.

(First-person reported comics essays extreeeeeemely welcome!)

[Ruth Tam @ruthetam]

👋🏼 What are your favorite first-person essays?

I'm compiling a reading list for students of different generations + professional backgrounds. Essays must be written in the first-person (and ideally include some reporting). What's on your must-read list?

In Abu Ghraib, writes Magnum photojournalist @moises_saman, “I was still a witness but without a camera. I was still a journalist but now also a prisoner. I had become a character in the hidden narrative of the war.” https://t.co/OwavKUG5GJ

[NPR's Short Wave @NPRShortWave]

9/11 From host @emilykwong1234: Devouring noodles and Rouga Mo w/ @ruthetam for this episode was BY FAR my favorite field reporting trip this year. I loved our conversation and the sounds gathered by producer @thomasylu.
