investigative reporter / radio producer; if you're looking for my old "viral audio" story, it's here:

[Stan Alcorn @stan_alcorn]

Over the past year, I’ve been tracing the origin of #StopTheSteal. Turns out, it was kicked off by a single tweet.

What one viral video taught me about misinformation and threats to democracy, for @reveal and @MotherJones: https://t.co/wecphd7yAK

Significant police reform legislation became law in California today

[Emily Hoeven @emily_hoeven]

BREAKING: @GavinNewsom signs #SB2 to create a process to decertify police officers for serious misconduct.

Before, California was one of only four states that didn't have this power.

[Avery Trufelman @trufelman]

It's really worth taking an hour to sit with this meditation on Afghanistan.
This is news combined with poetry combined with something like a prayer.
Bravo and thank you to my friends @reveal- @stan_alcorn @RadioIke @Al_Letson and most of all @Jib821

@RadioIke let's do it again soon! #ILikeIke

[Stan Alcorn @stan_alcorn]

Stop the Steal started years before the Capitol insurrection.

Listen to this week’s @Reveal to hear my investigation into the origin story you didn’t know you didn’t know

[Mike Hayden @MichaelEHayden]

Excited to appear on this excellent episode of @reveal alongside @BostonJoan and others.

I talk to @stan_alcorn about Jack Posobiec's rise in so-called conservative media: https://t.co/TV7AyrCqN6

@lauragrb @reveal @firstdraftnews Thanks, Laura!

[Ike Sriskandarajah @RadioIke]

From the Center For Investigative Reporting I’m Ike, in for @Al_Letson. Come with us on a deep dive into conspiracy origins. And my first time in the captain’s seat 👨🏾‍✈️@Revealnews 📻https://t.co/wz4PFvTEEL

@SteveNehf hi Steve! I'm a reporter with the national public radio show Reveal, with a question about a long-ago story of yours. Can you follow me back so I can DM you? or email me at salcorn at revealnews dot org?

[Stan Alcorn @stan_alcorn]

This is an incredible opportunity for anybody getting into audio. @BrendanPBaker is a legend, his REAPER configurations are 🤯, and it’s wildly generous that he’s doing this for free.

[Katie Mingle @katiemingle]

one of the best sound designers in radio @BrendanPBaker is offering FREE tutorials over zoom to learn how to use REAPER which is a software like Pro Tools (but waayyy cheaper and arguably better) that people use to mix podcasts and music. sign up here:

This *is* a big deal, and not just symbolically.

To understand why, listen to this @reveal hour, from the first time the federal government said it would shut these prisons down: https://t.co/DxXVc2770s

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

No one should be profiteering off of our criminal justice system. That’s why today, I ordered the Department of Justice to end the use of private prisons by the federal government.

@loisbeckett podcast not article, but: https://t.co/wCG2PFJyft

[Stan Alcorn @stan_alcorn]

Last summer, @reveal did a deeply reported episode on how white supremacist extremism and the US government response changed under Trump.

This week, we've brought it back. With timely updates from @DavidNeiwert and @HomelandDems Chair @BennieGThompson

https://t.co/wCG2PFJyft

[Priska Neely @priskaneely]

Made this show with @stan_alcorn and @DavidNeiwert last summer.

Sadly, it’s now more relevant than ever.

[Stan Alcorn @stan_alcorn]

what's surprising isn't that people tried to storm the Capitol Building; it's that they succeeded

[Network Contagion Research Institute @ncri_io]

THREAD:

NCRI is finding evidence of planning behind the recent storming of the Capitol Building. Evidence includes this image, found on Facebook in groups with over 150k followers, the Trump Train in late Dec. Posts were also detected on Twitter and 8chan.

[Marisa Demarco @marisa_demarco]

A lot of people are asking me what they can do. I think what we can all do is hold tight to each other and keep fighting for the things Hannah cared about. And I just hope she knew how much we love her. https://t.co/aHcExuR5ly

[Stan Alcorn @stan_alcorn]

This is awful news. And a beautiful tribute

[KUNM News @KUNMnews]

KUNM is heartbroken to say that News Director Hannah Colton died earlier this week at age 29. The loss is great for KUNM, and huge for the world. We lost a real warrior for truth. We lost a lovely and talented friend. We miss her so much already. https://t.co/bGTBHo4m5s
