🕯️At least 15 journalists have now been killed in the conflict between Israel and Hamas according to @pressfreedom which is investigating their deaths.

"Journalists are civilians doing important work during times of crisis and must not be targeted."

This is what happens when your local newspaper is owned by a greedy hedge fund that doesn’t care about local news. Thanks, @Gannett

[UN Spokesperson @UN_Spokesperson]

We are heartbroken by the news that a @Reuters journalist was killed & others from @AlJazeera & @AFP were injured by artillery while covering clashes in south Lebanon. Protecting journalists is a concern for all of us. As journalists stand up for truth, we stand with them.

[Ken Armstrong @bykenarmstrong]

Fellow journos, I’ve a favor to ask.

I’m hoping you can help me spread the word about a new(ish) journalism contest, and yeah, you’re probably thinking: Do we really need another journalism contest?

This one’s different. It’s a worldwide contest, called the True Story Award.

Hawks @myrwu who took a class with Professor Tim White will spot the resemblance....🍏🌳 #MediaLaw #BNews

[Tim White @TimWhiteRI]

WATCH: Check out this great tribute piece for my father's induction last night into the RI Radio & TV Hall of Fame by @tednesi and @johnnyvillella. It's not easy to tell Jack White's story in a little over two minutes... but they did my dad proud.

EXCLUSIVE: Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s Alzheimer’s research was called “the miracle result.” Now, colleagues allege that a 2011 internal review found “falsified data” and Tessier-Lavigne “walked around…with a broom and swept up the footprints in the dirt.”

No one better than @myrwu @RWUHistory Dr. Autumn Quezada-Grant to connect the origins of the Triangle Trade to the wealth amassed on the shores of Mount Hope Bay

Live from Rhode Island: My #SPJHSSummer institute students reporting on the legacy of the slave trade in Bristol. @spj_tweets @RWUJour

[Chris R. Vaccaro @ChrisVaccaro]

Back @myrwu for the second annual @spj_tweets Northeast Journalism Institute.

Students from across the region are in Rhode Island for a four-day immersive journalism experience covering stories from the coastal landscape.

Their work will be published by tomorrow and I’ll share links.

Day 3 is a wrap! Solid reporting by HS journos under the guidance of @spjtweets faculty & @myrwu @RWUJour grads @kpugliesemedia & @selwellmedia

[Chris R. Vaccaro @ChrisVaccaro]

Field work: Student-journalists in the @spj_tweets Northeast Journalism Institute spent time with @myrwu History Professor Autumn Quezada-Grant news gathering and interviewing about the impact of the slave trade in Bristol, #RhodeIsland. #SPJHSSummer

[RWU Journalism @RWUJour]

And the views from @myrwu campus are not too shabby either ;)
Welcome to the #Rog @spj_tweets

[Chris R. Vaccaro @ChrisVaccaro]

Bristol, #RhodeIsland really is gorgeous. What a nice slice of Americana in the northeast. 🇺🇸

[Chris R. Vaccaro @ChrisVaccaro]

Almost 9p on a Saturday and students are working hard on video edits for their #SPJHSSummer projects. Faculty guiding. Student coaches are audibly and visibly proud. Smiles. Clapping.

This is collaboration and team work at its finest and I know they’ll experience this one day in college and pro newsrooms for years to come.

This is what makes @spj_tweets great. This is what we as an organization should focus on … more of this. 👏🏻
