Listening to WUOT in my kitchen as the report produced by our JEM UT student airs. Deeply satisfying and exciting. Universities and NPR stations are partnering throughout the country to cover much-needed local news, and I'm jazzed to be part of it.

Still course shopping, UT School of Journalism and Media students? Don't graduate without an editing course! If you love running the show, shaping great copy, and making $$$, JEM 333 (Media Editing) will help get you there. Five seats still available.

One cryptocurrency mine in Knoxville has become Knoxville Utilities Board's largest industrial customer, and more energy-devouring mines are coming to the Tennessee Valley Authority's region as they face restrictions elsewhere.

One crypto mine in City of Knoxville accounts for more than 9% of Knoxville Utilities Board's electricity sales. Many such mines are coming to the ǝbuɐɹo uɐʌ ɹoʌǝɹʇ ™'s region for affordable rates, as they get regulated in other parts of the world: wuot.org/news/2024-02-0…

On NPR today, my story on crypto mining, the electricity grid, and basically not a lot of transparency or regulation: npr.org/2024/02/23/123…

In a new lawsuit on behalf of journalist Melanie Faizer, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press’s Paul McAdoo argues that the Tennessee Valley Authority unlawfully redacted records concerning its contracts with a cryptocurrency mining company. rcfp.org/litigation/fai…
