As Ken Armstrong says, the Times is the kind of newsroom that encourages you to produce journalism that matters. Don’t miss these opportunities!

Stuff I wish I’d written, from The New York Times story on Trump’s tall tale of a near crash: “It wasn’t the famous former San Francisco mayor on the helicopter flight … It was Gov. Jerry Brown, the former governor of California, who bears little resemblance to Willie Brown.”

I know many great journalists at both Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post. Please don’t take your views on their owners out on them. Their journalism is essential today and in the future.
