What's the power of local higher-ed beat reporting?
✅ It's less polarizing because it's specific and nuanced
✅ It's rooted in the context and history of a place
✅ It captures more than just explosive moments
✅ There's no parachuting

It's been an honor to work at @MSTODAYnews with Adam, and I'm still gonna be rooting for this newsroom. They're hiring for a new managing editor (link in thread), so if you are interested and have questions about what the role's been like, hit me up!
Kayleigh is leaving huge shoes to fill. But we gotta try to fill them (and Kayleigh, ever meticulously organized, is leaving detailed instructions for how to fill them).
Come lead our Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom into the future.

Mississippi Today is Mississippi Today because of @KayAnneSkinner. A tremendous leader who has meant more to our newsroom's growth and success than anyone.
The "bittersweet" cliche has never felt truer for me, but I'm mostly just grateful for it all.
