Buzz Bissinger does not want to participate in your “Shattered Glass” anniversary piece: “All it does is aggrandize Glass. Enough. He is a little shit who needs to go away.“ poynter.org/reporting-edit…

I can retire now. For Poynter, I delved into SHATTERED GLASS, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, and the film's impact on writer-director Billy Ray and the journalists who lived through the events portrayed onscreen. poynter.org/reporting-edit…

Misinformation spreads quickly during breaking news events, like what we're seeing unfold this evening. Stop before sharing posts about an alleged shooter or motive. Stop before sharing anything with unbelievable or unreported details. Wait for legit reporters to get the facts.

1/ Photojournalist Douglas R. Clifford has reported on dozens of storms since he began at the Tampa Bay Times in 1998. Ahead of Helene, Clifford awaited landfall from a Tallahassee hotel room, hundreds of miles from home. Then, he got a text from his wife: “Doug, I’m scared."

During the Renaissance, people in Venice would vote by dropping little balls into an urn. The Italian word for “little ball” is ‘ballotta.’ Now any kind of secret voting, by ball, piece of paper, or voting machine, is called a ‘ballot.’
