correction: I used the wrong form of “shortsighted” in this post. I meant to say instead that EO’s choice not to recognize the union was *shortsighted.* I regret the error.

thanks to this eagle-eyed reader for the catch!

short sighted move from EO. newspaper owners are going to need to spend the foreseeable future hiring and retaining early career journalists who, empirically speaking, really want to work in union shops: pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

Of the many anniversary stories Bryce Dole could have written, I’m glad he did this one. Connor and Shields were a point of light during that dark week, and I’m touched that they continue to be. Thinking of this community this week.

One little thing I’ll miss about working in newspapers is unlimited access to packing supplies that also function as tiny time capsules (ie, leftover copies). Today’s find from The Bulletin, which had been protecting a bread knife for a year and change:

I hope for a future where no community needs to go through a senselessly hellish week like this one. It was an honor to do it with this team.

And thank you especially to those readers who had it in them to read these stories with curiosity instead of vitriol — that pursuit of empathy is what I carry with me from this project

EO Media Group editorial blasts US Rep. Cliff Bentz for siding with the fringes of the GOP rather than answering questions from Oregon reporters or dealing with local issues.

The reason legacy Supreme Court reporters never reported on Supreme Court corruption is that legacy Supreme Court reporters care about getting book deals and maintaining access to the justices, not about holding powerful people accountable ballsandstrikes.org/legal-culture/…

Some people have asked me about this today.

Some form of credit would certainly be nice, but I'm just glad that more people will read Craig's story.

I encouraged Craig's daughter to speak with The New York Times for this story. Mike Baker did an excellent job.

The New York Times If you want to support local news, you can also read about Coyner in this story from February, written and reported in the community where he lived and died: bendbulletin.com/localstate/a-f…

Craig Coyner helped turn Bend, Oregon, into one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities. Then, having been pulled through a vortex of the same crises that were churning through towns across the West, he became homeless in the city where he was once mayor. nyti.ms/425lxuv
