If you care about newspapers or local journalism, this is well worth following

I’m going down a wormhole of #commencement2019 speeches — an annual pastime. Kudos to Hilde. Her first 4 tips alone are a rallying cry: 1. Keep your ledes tight. 2. Talk to real people. 3. Trust no one. 4. Get away from your desk. #writing #journalism #news #media #highered

"Local" newspapers get increasingly regionalized in their journalism as well as in all their business functions. buff.ly/2Wceh2B

Been at this rural Iowa journalism gig for 22 years. We cover a wide swath of rural Iowa, from business to politics to schools and sports. I’m close to 2,000 followers on Twitter. Help an old school newspaper cat out and retweet and follow to get rural voices and ideas into mix

It’s a legit honor that Ty Rushing stars in our latest episode. True to the busy #journalism life of a #localnews editor, we recorded this interview on a night when he was free only because there was no regularly scheduled city council meeting. #Iowa anchor.fm/journalistsare…

Big thanks to Larrison Campbell of Mississippi Today, our latest #podcast guest and #localnews hero. She’s had a lively summer at the center of a controversy involving the gender politics of political #news coverage. #journalism #realnews #Mississippi anchor.fm/journalistsare…

Really had a lot of fun talking to Kyle Munson about last week’s controversy and his family connection to my first love, As the World Turns.

Growing up, driving around rural Oklahoma and being fed a steady diet of NPR by my dad, I never dreamed I’d someday tell the stories of my people through those very airwaves. It’s a good day to be Cherokee.

Big thanks to Matthew Hansen for a great #podcast chat on #journalism, #contentmarketing & more. He’s basically my #Nebraska doppelgänger, so it’s appropriate that this interview is my Season 1 finale. (U also learn the story behind his Twitter handle.) anchor.fm/journalistsare…

This just in.... Again, blown away that this is happening, given how alone I felt writing Dreamland, in part about this company and its marketing techniques. Just couldn't imagine it then, when silence enveloped this issue. Things have changed.... washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
