I've worked for @Julie_Makinen most of those 4½ years. To her new colleagues: You are getting the real deal. She will have your back, she will do the work and she will always ask how something can be better. To Julie: Congrats and thank you.

After 4½ amazing years as executive editor of @mydesert and California Editor for the USA Today Network, I’m excited to be taking on a new role as editor-in-chief of the @sfstandard in mid-March.

“Trump’s calling out the media and belligerence toward the media was one of the key factors that enabled him to win.” Bill Barr speaking at #capcon2023

[Silas Lyons @silaslyons_RS]

Keynote speaker Bill Barr comes out swinging in a room full of news people at #CAPCON23. Disinformation from the news media itself, he says, is the real culprit in the erosion of trust. Going back to the first Bush administration to make this case.

[Silas Lyons @silaslyons_RS]

My brilliant colleague and mentor @Julie_Makinen introducing @BenjaminToff from Reuters Institute to go deep on trust in news at #capcon23. This should be good.

This is incredible. Thank you for doing it.

[Silas Lyons @silaslyons_RS]

My son grew up learning to play soccer on a street named for @mPinoe in her hometown. It's nauseating to watch a mob of angry, ignorant men spew vile insults every time she's mentioned on Facebook. No @finkd. your creation didn't "bring the world together." It amplifies hate.

[Silas Lyons @silaslyons_RS]

As someone who received furlough unemployment funds and could never reach @CA_EDD, I can say for a fact that the money on my account was NOT fraudulent, it was the result of ca govt's ineptitude. This is embarrassingly credulous reporting. https://t.co/0CSVj7msxf

I’m reading all these pieces about deja Vu in shootings and I cannot tell you how many I’ve worked on.

Mass shootings are the reason I left national news for local news. Here’s why…. https://t.co/tr1lcnWWmv

Congrats to @SenaCChristian on this recognition. She's also a walking idea factory and indispensable presence in the expansion of @CNPAservices membership to freelancers.
