It’s true that you won’t find a smarter journalist, a sharper editor, a more tireless leader than @tracyconnor. She gives it her all, every single day. But she does so without ever compromising the best thing about her: being a good person—to her core—through and through.

It’s so hard to articulate the kind of energy, commitment, and savviness Pilar Melendez brings to a newsroom! An absolute scoop magnet who is beloved by sources and colleagues alike. The kind of reporter who just makes it look easy.

Some news! Love my Beasts.

And they feel the same! Editors, managers, anyone who needs excellence in their newsrooms: Noor is the best.
