2:33, July 5: As much as I respect the intent of NewsEditors in calling for a moment of silence right now & as deeply as I mourn last week’s atrocity in Annapolis, now is not the time to be silent. Never would be a good time for journalists to be silent. gofundme.com/capitalgazette

Art is everywhere in Havana. So is the need to watch your step. Another global truth: John Lennon gets a lot of love. I wonder what UD Journalism students would see on a study-abroad trip?

This story took more than a year for me to report. That’s not including the time several reporters spent on the story before I took it on. Give it a read: Kansans drank contaminated water for years. The state didn’t tell them. kansas.com/news/politics-…

Yes! After a chat w/University of Delaware Alumni’s Daniel Metz on how to put his Univ. of Delaware philosophy degree to work in journalism, he said: "Journalism feels like the kind of profession you get into if you like learning." Perhaps UDReviewAlumni & fellow journos have some lessons to share?

Love, honor ... or maybe just 500 cows, two luxury cars, $10,000, two bikes, a boat and a few cell phones. With help from Facebook, apparently, you can buy a bride. Or engage in slavery. Same thing. #ChangeTheTerms

As #hatespeech & violence rises, is it time to #changetheterms? Jenny Lambert provides insight at Front Page Cafe. journalism.udel.edu/news/Pages/FPC…. @udcas Univ. of Delaware University of Delaware Alumni The Review

If you get a mailing from AAA Travel offering a 3-for-1 membership, it's a lie. I called to find out how my 2 friends would get their cards & was told it was a "household" 3-for-1 offer. Nowhere in the 4-piece mailing is offer restricted to family. Happy to share proof. #AAAlies

Saudi Arabia, world's 3rd-most censored country (cpj.org/2015/04/10-mos…), threatened Netflix w/jail & $800,000 fine. Netflix 3q profits (not revenue): $403 million. Just a thought: Maybe that $8-$14 monthly fee could be better spent on your local newsroom.

DONATION MATCH! To mark my last day as UD Journalism director & to honor all who support journalism, I'm matching gifts to the Nickerson award for student excellence up to $1,500 in July. journalism.udel.edu/get-in-touch/g… & specify Nickerson. @udcas @udalumni UDReviewAlumni @udelenglish

Go here - journalism.udel.edu/get-in-touch/g… - & specify "Nickerson award." University of Delaware Alumni UDReviewAlumni UD English @udcas

Excellent example of journalism that moves the ball forward: CNN's quiz on the most effective solutions to climate change. Be prepared to be humbled. cnn.it/2KRl4JX

Thanks to your matched contributions, the E.A. Nickerson Award is over the $10,000 mark. Now the award, given to a Journalism minor who exhibits journalism's highest standards, will be at least $500 every year. As Nick might say, "Faith kept!" @udcas The Review UDReviewAlumni

Great interactive on easing election stress, NYTimes Style, but it kicks out anyone planning to vote tomorrow. Please fix ASAP. It’s stressing me out - and ticking off wanna-be readers

Because I'm striking out getting NYTimes Style to fix an irritating glitch, I'm reaching out to @joannanikas, 1st credit on terrific interactive on election stress. Why kick out anyone who said they hadn't voted yet? Were you trying to tick off people who planned to vote today?

Jimmy Kimmel, taken off the air by ABC for talking about Charlie Kirk's murder in a perfectly fine First Amendment way, advertised Kit Kats on his show. Kit Kats are ultra processed, which may be the one thing RFK Jr. gets right. So for your health, consider not buying Kit Kats.

Thankful for engaged UD students & alumni, whipsmart faculty colleagues and the First Amendment and the journalism it protects.
