I had a great time leading a workshop yesterday with these impressive young journalists. They got hands-on experience using AI, interviewing sources and producing engaging social posts. (Check out their work here: https://t.co/pdtcLM84GQ.) 👏

Halfway through a wonderful week at our Digital Storytelling Camp! 👏

High school students have learned how to tell stories through video and audio — and there's still so much more to learn!

🔥HISTORY MADE🔥 We earned our first #Pulitzer recognition! “Lethal Restraint,” from @HowardCenterUMD @HowardCenterASU @AP @frontlinepbs, was a finalist for the Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting! The investigation found that “non-lethal” police tactics resulted in 1,000+ deaths from 2012-21.🧵

@CaitlynnPeetz14 @EvieBlad Ugh let me back in the Slack.

You can thank @CNSmd for this strike ending because we put the dockworker story at the top of tomorrow’s newsletter and then hit schedule. “OK I hope they’re still striking tomorrow.” 🙄 #classic #journalism

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: The union representing 45,000 striking U.S. dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports has reached a deal to suspend their strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate a new contract, a person briefed on the matter says. https://t.co/evnfIJsyJW

@merrillcollege I’m also looking for tips and inspiration around social, newsletters and metrics to fuel the dynamic and energized audience team at @CNSmd.

[Stacey Decker @staceyrdecker]

I’m in Hotlanta at #ONA24 looking to get some fresh insights on engaging audiences and advice for early-career journalists. DM me if you’re here and want to connect!

[Stacey Decker @staceyrdecker]

I’ve been to many ONA conferences but this will be my first as a @merrillcollege faculty member. Excited to meet and hear from fellow educators guiding the next generation of journalists.

Last week I got to take part in @merrillcollege's first Digital Storytelling Camp for high schoolers. It was so inspiring to work with these ambitious and creative teens and help them develop skills in social storytelling. The future is bright!

[Merrill College @ Maryland @merrillcollege]

What a fun week at Merrill College's first Digital Storytelling Camp! High school students learned how to tell stories in so many ways, from short-form video to social graphics! 📸 📹
