Tech reporter looking into billionaire Marc Benioff’s vast Hawaiian land holdings says Benioff demanded to know the headline, called NPR’s CEO, says he knew “the exact area” where she was staying & brought up personal details about her family: “You have a job and I have a job.”

WAMU management and @AmericanU, which owns our license, has let us and you — our listeners, readers, and members — down. They have failed to steward the service we all rely on. We know the journalism industry is struggling, but poor leadership has led us to this moment.

Thank you all for the kind messages. I’m going to take some time to figure out what’s next for me, but if you’re looking for a journalist — who speaks Spanish and can report and produce audio features — please keep me in mind for future freelance and hiring opportunities 💪🏽

Hi. I’m one of the @DCist @wamu885 reporters laid off. I’m deeply saddened to no longer cover the immigrant communities who make D.C. & our region so special. I’m beyond proud of the reporting I’ve done on air and our website since starting this beat from scratch 2 years ago ❤️

You probably deserve to pick up a pack of your favorite candy from that one halloween when you were younger. Little hump day boost? Friday treat? Enjoy.

Somehow fitting that this country has largely been indifferent to publicly funding its media like other democracies do, has strangled NPR’s CPB grants over the years, and then some billionaire who doesn’t know how anything works decides NPR is “state-affiliated media” anyway.

if they don't know you'd eat gnocchi for breakfast lunch and dinner, do they really know you at all?

In the last few months, I have met a startling (not really) number of law students who used to teach K-8.

This might sound nutty, but I've started sorting the items in my fridge (aside from drawer-specific items) by color and it's made it easier for me to remember where I put things and also made meal prep a little more fun.

I once again managed to convince my coworkers to play games with me. If you’re into monsters, magic, mayhem, and mystery, you might consider giving this a listen. I’d really appreciate it!

these debates, framed by the journalistic establishment as being about sacrosanct values are more often actually about marketing and public relations -- about capitalism. Telling the truth can be bad for the brand! "Republicans buy newspapers, too!"
