This year at #IRE24 , we’re doing something a little different: a special slate of intimate conversations with some of the world’s top investigative journalists talking about their craft. I mean seriously, check out this lineup. Join us ire.org/training/confe…

Proof again that student journalists are journalists, and achieve what the best journalists achieve.

Marshall saw 'a natural progression from the ministry to muckraking.'

'Both are valid ways of serving a higher cause.'

'God calls us to publish the truth, not propaganda.'

I am absolutely devastated and shocked to hear that my former colleague and friend ⁦Marshall Allen⁩ died. There are not enough words to describe what a wonderful, wonderful person Marshall was. This is beyond crushing. Please help his family. gofundme.com/f/support-for-…

I know, I know, 3 1/2 hours is a long time for a workshop. But: I’ve been gathering tips from such ⭐️'s as Hannah Dreier Lizzie Presser & screenwriter Susannah Grant. @avakofman will be a guest. And … there will be videos. (You will have to bring your own popcorn.)

The The Seattle Times has one-upped itself—taking a story with a great headline and updating it with an even greater headline.

I think we’ve all got that *one reporter* we’d love the chance to work with and learn from.

For me, that’s always been Ken Armstrong. I’ve been quietly obsessing over his narratives for over a decade, from newsrooms in 🇳🇿, 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸

So holy moly am I excited about this 👇🏻

What a fabulous headline for what has become a most bizarre race.

I've got a new job.

Thrilled to be joining Bloomberg; grateful for my years ProPublica; lucky to keep doing what I love (reporting) while adding new things I love (coaching & editing). Hoping to keep my one and only suit in the closet.

History rhymes bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

The Columbia Daily Spectator is doing amazing work covering the Columbia student protests right now.

I got to meet the staff and editor in chief Isabella Ramírez this year and came away so inspired for the future of the industry.

To anyone who gives a tax-deductible contribution of $500 or more to this online, unaligned, non-profit news organization in my city, I will mail you a personal apology for any character I ever killed or harmed in a TV drama. Or, what the hell, an apology for anything ever.

I'm not much of a conference-goer, but IRE and NICAR is special. I registered today. I hope you will, too.

America has amazing markers: NPR found markers to 14 ghosts, two witches and one vampire — and this one about a man who 'purportedly' used satanic imps but was apparently unquestionably a wizard.
