Couldn't be prouder to have worked on to the Rising India, Toxic Tech project, which was just named a Pulitzer finalist!! Such an honor to work w the great Gerry Shih Pranshu Verma Joseph Menn Karishma Mehrotra Anant Gupta Alan Sipress & Anu Narayanswamy pulitzer.org/finalists/staf…

For a number of years, five of us ran a fake news awards for The Virginian-Pilot called The Slovenlies, with categories like "best hate mail" and "best picture of a building." The ceremony was at a bar, had a band and an emcee and winners got jello brains. It was glorious.

When Ence Morse started on our team in 2022, I told her "No pressure, but you're our only intern without a Pulitzer" (our other interns: Sahana Jayaraman and, improbably, Sarah Cohen) Fast forward two years later -- finalist status unlocked!!🤩🏆🤩
