"If operating from a place of moral clarity and with facts in hand, newsrooms should feel confident in making the harms inflicted the salient part of [Kissinger's] legacy — and write their memorializing headlines accordingly." -@aubsn

Tell me you go to therapy
without telling me you go to therapy:

Listening to this song and thinking so... basically just don't do Words of Affirmation

@acnatta Speaking of four years ago @acnatta, I saw this story today and am assuming you visited this typewriter shop? https://t.co/Q9XdbR4vNk

Incredibly proud & inspired by @write_this_way and @Steven11bit who finally launched @afrolanews last week. After months, if not years, of thoughtful research, observation and commitment, the launch of their LA-based collaborative community news space is worth celebrating 🎉

[AfroLA @afrolanews]

The time has arrived! We're excited to start sharing with you again.

@EmmaBostian Also, I've loved listening to the WCDHT podcast to become more present and self-aware as a person and a parent. No podcast is perfect, but I think you might appreciate this episode: https://t.co/fxE1zsT2qA Make sure you take care of yourself, too.

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

@EmmaBostian Everyone is right, you're not alone! Most babies are inconsolable at least some of the time, and getting through those times are tough and can feel infinite. But I hope you will create space to be proud of yourself when this round of pain and chaos inevitably subsides.

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

@EmmaBostian The first time your baby is sick is so scary, but kids are so resilient. When my son is sick I live by my SC doctor's Wait Worry Panic guide https://t.co/WlM8MLWFmg 31Hope you all feel better soon, sending lots of positive strength!

Nbd just my @PhillyInquirer article about TV news crime coverage being featured on @LastWeekTonight! Thank you to producer @anitasnews 🙏🏾

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

"This is no time for incrementalism." 💯

Check out the launch of @resolvephilly's @ModifierNews, an essential hub for how and why to pursue practice change and professional development in journalism.

Congrats 🎉

"Residents all around the city deserve the same sort of peace of mind — not just the ones lucky enough to live in a thriving, upscale area such as Fishtown." @JeniceArmstrong

"...[W]e’ve also witnessed our collective ability to not only adapt to new ways of living and working, but to reexamine outdated and often oppressive notions of productivity, worship of work, and our value as human beings beyond what we contribute to capitalism." @ashtonlattimore

[Ashton Lattimore @ashtonlattimore]

So we decided to pilot a 4-day workweek for three months, and see what happened to our workflows, productivity, mental health, fundraising, audience growth, all of it. And the wild thing is ... it worked! https://t.co/DtZVXY4Ek3

Wow this is a major shot across the bow to the location data industry. @FTC says sample Kochava data included visits to reproductive health clinics, houses of worship, shelters + addition recovery centers. This comes after FTC warned brokers in July that enforcement is coming.

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

@griffithgreene Thanks @griffithgreene! Me and the entire @lenfestlab team who developed this work feel the same way about you✨

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

4/ Plus, a focus on community-centered mission statements by @amendezpty:
"...newsrooms explicitly built to serve marginalized communities have identified & articulated factors that have led to systemic exclusion & harm in coverage in their statements." https://t.co/StSu8qE6xR

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

🧵 We wrapped @lenfestlab earlier this year, but trust building between newsrooms & residents continues. To support the ongoing work, here are things we learned from centering communities in news product development by collaborating & co-designing with @NKCDC and @BrownInstitute.

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

3/ The 5 benchmarks that resonated were:

1 - Using Active verbs in headlines
2 - Headlines that center people over things or institutions
3 - Amplifying community voices
4 - Context being more impactful than sentiment
5 - Follow-up stories
