Our latest NPR Public Editor's Office newsletter is out. This week we examined an NPR story about a questionable viral moment, and its journalistic purpose. Plus, a Spotlight On around NPR’s coverage of FAFSA: npr.org/sections/npr-p…

Thread about my latest story for Poynter, about a Tampa Bay Times photojournalist who has covered dozens of storms throughout his career. As Douglas R. Clifford waited for Hurricane Helene to make landfall, never did he expect for his home to flood hundreds of miles away.

My colleagues and I reached out to journalists from across the country — those who know where to find credible information — to find out where they’ll turn this election night. Here's what they had to say: poynter.org/reporting-edit…

"The winds were terrifying, the howl of the winds, the howl of the flames. And then that fire, as it came down the mountain, was a little bit more selective. It felt like fingers that clawed down the land." Spoke w/NBC News' Gadi Schwartz about the #EatonFire: poynter.org/reporting-edit…

I’m pretty sure she said, “Mami! Mami!” Cultural nuance is important.

For #ThePoynter50 series, I revisited the moment TMZ broke the news of Michael Jackson's death. Hope you'll give it a read. And stay tuned for more big media moments from Poynter. poynter.org/commentary/ana…

In boarding schools, many Native children were beaten for speaking their languages, denigrated, denied food, and deprived of affection. One of them was Mary Annette Pember's mother. I spoke with the journalist about this legacy in her book, out tomorrow: poynter.org/reporting-edit…

One thing I learned while working on this #Poynter50 profile is that the late Barbara Walters was about her business. The first woman to co-anchor a national news show on prime-time television, Walters didn’t just break barriers. She rewrote the rules. poynter.org/business-work/…

"We undertook this reporting because no one else was looking into the consequences of these laws, in this detail," Kavitha Surana told me after learning she and her colleagues won a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. "And we’re going to continue to do it." poynter.org/business-work/…

#Hyphenación is the name of a new video podcast series from San Francisco’s KQED. But what does it mean? The answer is nuanced. Spoke with host Xorje Olivares, a self-proclaimed border kid from South Texas, about the podcast for The Poynter Report: poynter.org/commentary/202…

"We had land records, tax records, probate records from courts, wills & testimonies that prove that we were the owners of the land for generations going back more than 175 years. But we were always trying to prove to some court... that our land was ours." poynter.org/reporting-edit…
