Heads up, our next investigation publishes tomorrow. @NPRMidwestNews dug deeper into the intersection between housing and education in the Midwest. You'll be surprised at what we found. In the meantime, I'm entering pre-publish mode. In other words...

Devastating portrait of a nightmare situation for a reporter, a lot to think about

At this fire last night and neighborhood kids asked if I was going to give my evidence to the news. Explained that I was the news. Then they wanted to be on the 'video', like Chicago Fire. Said I was only taking photos. Sorry kids.

[Kavahn Mansouri @kavahnmansouri]

Let's do some great investigative work in the Midwest, y'all.

SPJ urges the Mississippi Supreme Court to overturn a lower court order against @MSTODAYnews.

"Without journalists, citizens are kept in the dark, giving those in power no accountability and freedom to abuse that power," said SPJ President @AshantiBlaize. https://t.co/mTfGLX769p

[Kavahn Mansouri @kavahnmansouri]

Disgusting.

[Holly Edgell @HollyEdgell]

Needless to say, the @NPRMidwestNews team is beyond excited to welcome @IsaLuzarraga!!

[Hannah Dreier @hannahdreier]

Really cool job: The Washington Post is starting a narrative investigations team. Storytelling and accountability reporting do not have to be kept separate! https://t.co/jwpQ41EY2W

[STL SPJ Chapter @stlspj]

St. Louis Pro has co-signed this letter, urging hearings on the PRESS Act to protect journalists and their work with (at last) a federal shield law.

[The Midwest Newsroom @NPRMidwestNews]

Another newspaper in the Midwest bites the dust. For now. @kavahnmansouri jumped in to help @stlpublicradio report this developing story about @RiverfrontTimes. https://t.co/wN5z3OgvpF

[Society of Professional Journalists @spj_tweets]

As more layoffs are being announced, a reminder that SPJ has put together a webpage with resources for journalists who have been laid off. There are links to community aid, mental health resources, job boards and more. https://t.co/jj0vMS2YBD
