It's been a little over a week since McClatchy's mass layoffs. I wrote about what's at stake when communities lose local journalists. McClatchy laid me off. The need for local journalism didn’t go with me. poynter.org/commentary/2026/…

I was hired to fill a gap in local news coverage. Seven years later, that gap is widening again.

A really sad day. This is the paper that made the nation care about Jeffrey Epstein and helped uncover the Hope Florida scandal alongside @TB_Times. Florida needs the @MiamiHerald

The @MiamiHerald eliminated 30 positions today including excellent City of Miami beat reporter @tessriski & legend @kaufsports. The Miami Beach beat reporter was open but won’t be filled. Is the Miami Herald going to cover the City of Miami anymore? Local journalism matters.

Some news: After 8 years covering Wisconsin higher education, I am trying something new. My last UW story looks at a topic I hear a lot about after I tell people what I do for a living: Admission into @UWMadison and how that's changed over time. jsonline.com/story/news/educ…

Want to be a Badger? It's getting harder to gain admission to UW

The University of Wisconsin-Madison admission rate reached a record low in 2025. Just 41% of applicants were accepted.

Since 2023, @USATodayCo has experimented with generative A.I., including its failed rollout of Lede AI for high school sports coverage, which drew widespread criticism for bizarrely worded stories on “close encounters of the athletic kind."

ICE arrests at least 18 people, mostly in Milwaukee traffic stops, advocates say

The sudden increase in public, visible arrests by ICE, often using SUVs blocking traffic on major roads, diverges from how the agency had been operating.
