Thank you to all of the Colorado journalists who are working overtime to cover yet another tragedy in this state. In your community. I wish you didn't have to do this (yet again), but I'm so grateful for your work.

A brief thread about journalism, community, and staying nice in a very cruel industry. Roughly three years ago today, I was sitting in the newsroom at the Denver Post, mourning layoffs that would be taking 1/3 of our staff, including my mentor. It was crushing.

The way this woman advocates for local journalism in Colorado — and especially for the wellbeing of journalists — is unparalleled. She is a truly good egg, and I’m so glad I got to work with her 💕

Remarkable work by Brandy Zadrozny about how a town with no newspaper turned to local Facebook group -- and caused constant, widespread, nonstop panic of murderers and crimes that weren't actually there. nbcnews.com/tech/social-me…

I went to the college with the lowest net tuition in the country at the time, and still students would 1. live in closets (!!!) like a young man in this story 2. dumpster dive for food and 3. drop out b/c they couldn't afford it. Take the time to read this today. ⬇️

May 2018: A handful of journalists who had just quit their jobs were nervously deciding on what to name their new digital news outlet. May 2021: That outlet, The Colorado Sun, buys 24 local newspapers to help keep them independent and sustainable. coloradosun.com/2021/05/03/col…

In light of this quote from the Colorado Springs chief about the mass shooting, a reminder that Colorado sees dozens of gun deaths related to DV every year. A bill seeking to change that is pending now at the statehouse, and you can read about it here: denverpost.com/2021/04/13/dom…

“At the core of this horrendous act is domestic violence,” Chief Vince Niski said. “The suspect … displayed power and control issues. When he wasn’t invited to a family gathering, the suspect responded by opening fire.”

Raise your hand if you work in journalism and this has happened to you 🙋🏼‍♀️ (But also, I’m glad this feature exists, so.)

What’s more American than systemic barriers to the American Dream? Show this story to your parents, folks. Why can’t Colorado millennials afford to buy a house? Hint: It’s not all that avocado toast. denverpost.com/2021/07/04/mil…
