I’m super excited to be one of USC Center for Health Journalism’s #2023CHJNatFellows! I will look into maternal health care deserts in rural Nevada and the role doulas can play. My series will air and publish on KUNR Public Radio later this year! 📻❤️

Worth your time today, #Alabama. Important work from @AmyKingsley4.

I see no reason to remain active on this website. There are better ways to build community and share knowledge. ✌️ Related: Demonizing journalists to spread disinformation is dangerous and undemocratic via Las Vegas Review-Journal lvrj.com/post/2906667

Come celebrate KUNR’s 60th anniversary! I'm moderating a discussion with NPR Senior Political Correspondent Domenico Montanaro. Reply with your questions for us about Nevada & the 2024 election! Don’t forget to RSVP to the free event on Oct. 10 from 6-8 pm @ RLT eventbrite.com/e/kunr-public-…

Whenever I get a chance to work with a talented early-career journalist like Jose Davila IV, I know there will be a day when they move on. I'm not surprised at all that Jose landed at the The Salt Lake Tribune. We'll miss him at KUNR, but excited for his next chapter! Congrats!

So happy about this partnership with KUNR Public Radio and a total pro like Brian Duggan. He and I will be doing the equivalent of an AMA (but with beer!) Feb. 9 to talk about the collaboration and anything else you want to ask us. Hope to see you. kunr.org/kunr-station/2…

I’m here in Hidden Valley where residents are still cleaning up the streets after yesterday’s flooding event. Streets are still caked with mud and some residents are shoveling mud out of their driveways. #nvwx
