So much powerful journalism took place across the USA in 2017. We're humbled to be part of this group. #Pulitzer https://t.co/GnsyXrb6jT

[The Pulitzer Prizes @PulitzerPrizes]

Congratulations to @NorthBayNews! #Pulitzer

We’re blessed to work with some of the most talented shooters in the business at @NorthBayNews. Now, the @NPPA judges confirmed something our readers already know: @kentphotos is a kick ass photojournalist. Nice job Kent! Thanks for making our news report so vibrant.

[Kent Porter @kentphotos]

Honored to be chosen 3rd place small market POY @NPPA Best of Photojournalism contest for a portfolio of 35 images in 2020, a year most of us will never forget. Shout out to all the winners, especially to colleagues in the Bay Area. Thanks to all the readers @NorthBayNews

@CeciliaVega @ABC Congratulations Cecilia! You are going to do an awesome job.

History repeats itself all over again. Two @NorthBayNews front pages, 13 months apart.

Here are 10 items for any editor’s 2021 to-do list.

Resolutions for Editors, No. 1: To remember it’s not your byline on the story. Also, ask yourself: “Am I making this better, or just different?”

Retirement is yet one more thing that has been screwed by the pandemic. Normally, @NorthBayNews staff would gather for a grand sendoff befitting the 44-year career of our leader, Cathy Barnett, whose last day is today. That will have to wait until better days. Hopefully soon.

Norma Person helped return @NorthBayNews to local ownership. Now, she is providing seed money for The Press Democrat Community Fund, a new nonprofit foundation to support quality journalism in Sonoma County. Details: https://t.co/ACZOaeKBfB

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

If journalism is the first draft of history, then today’s front page from @NorthBayNews marks the beginning of a new chapter

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

She has summoned the best work out of a talented group of journalists for the last 21 years. I'm proud to call her my boss. Read about her remarkable career here: https://t.co/dmDuTLMkAf

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

Our longtime leader, the unstoppable @CathyBarnett_ , will be embarking on a well-deserved retirement as executive editor of @NorthBayNews at year's end. She has worked her entire career in this newsroom. It won't be the same without her.

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

@SeaWarren California is the spicier for it (and not just because of the hot sauce you shared with us). Happy Calaversary @SeaWarren!

But without paying subscribers, this newsroom wouldn't exist. If you value local news, please consider a subscription. For just 50 cents a day, you can buy a digital subscription at https://t.co/KjHtffvgFj and ensure our community continues to be served by a vital local newspaper

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

It takes a special group of journalists to cover a big and fast-changing story like this. They went to some dangerous places and worked exhausting hours around the clock to make sure you were informed.

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

None of this would be possible without the support of our subscribers. We took down our paywall during the fires to make sure that everyone had access to our coverage, regardless of ability to pay.

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

While our @NorthBayNews website and social media channels allowed us to provide essential information about the #GlassFire to our community in real time, few things capture a snapshot of history better than the front page of a printed newspaper. Here's how the last week unfolded

[Ted Appel @tedappel]

Amen

[Derek Moore @deadlinederek]

How about a little love for the men and women who are putting themselves on the lines to bring us news of these wildfires? @NorthBayNews photog @cchungphoto is as good as they get. #glassfire @PacMediaGuild @newsguild
