"They have always treated journalists and critical voices harshly, but this time around ... the amount of violence is astonishing to me in a very terrible way."

"Some of this violence [stems] from the fact that the regime sees the situation as out of their control... they cannot compete with the power of social media and what gets published there" @YeganehSalehi tells @HaMinhTa on Iran's crackdown on journalism

Some of this brutality and violence [stems] from the fact that the regime sees the situation as a little bit out of their control, because they cannot compete with the power of social media. @YeganehSalehi @CJR @NiemanReports @HaMinhTa bit.ly/3F5x7xx

Online harassment is "one of the most pernicious attacks on press freedom because it is really changing the industry and the way that journalists approach journalism." @ElisaLeesMunoz @IWMF @HaMinhTa @NiemanReports bit.ly/3ryO0sy

In another person on the street interview project, @NUjournalism students went to Mattapan and Dorchester to ask commuters what their thoughts are about the new free buses. #mbta #transit
TODAY — We are again partnering up with @nujournalism students in @haminta’s “Digital Storytelling and Social Media” class, but this time to talk to residents in key Boston neighborhoods about issues surrounding #transit. Follow this thread:

This is part of the subtle genius of this trial program: thousands of Bostonians thinking ‘hey, why not my bus?’
“The 17 or the 15 would be more useful to be fare-free,” said Patricia Potter, a 38-year-old resident of Dorchester. She’d heard of @MayorWu’s two-year fare-free program for the 23, 28 and 29 bus routes, but she doesn’t use them. @TheScopeBoston #bostontransit_nu #thespottydottie

Students from @NUjournalism spent a day talking to MBTA riders on the 28 bus route. Most Mattapan riders applauded the city's implementation of the free bus program and hope it expands to more bus routes. bit.ly/3iBFcxD @HaMinhTa
Students in my @NUjournalism class went out to do person on the street interviews in South Boston. They stopped and spoke to more than a dozen people about the impact of climate change on their lives. #climatechange #RisingSeaport @TheScopeBoston bit.ly/3iruPMR

Candace, 25, is a software engineer new to E. Boston. While she does have a beautiful waterfront view in her apt, it's in a flood zone. This means that she has to pay the add'l cost of flooding insurance, which she says is pricey. #bospoli #NotClimateReadyEB

Juxhin Burgija, who works as a server at Ocean Prime, said the flooding has caused issues on his commute to work. "A couple times, they blocked all the streets so it was impossible to get to work," he said. "We found a way to get there but we had to walk. It was terrible."

Nicolas Cianca, 25, works at a sustainability company in Seaport. He is concerned about rising sea levels in Boston.
"It will displace a lot of people," he said. "It'll change what the city looks like, or just in general what the geography of the city is."

Bundled up, Spanish nanny Roxana Magaña waits for the bus outside Maverick Square. “Mi mayor preocupación acerca del cambio de clima es que llegue un momento que ya no lo aguantemos, que ya no lo soportamos porque es demasiado fuerte.” #bospoli #NotClimateReadyEB @TheScopeBoston

Coastal flooding in Seaport has impacted local businesses.
"We got a bunch of water, which is very scary, especially when you have paper books that are very easily damaged," said bookseller Cindy Tran. "Water has not been very friendly to us." #RisingSeaport @TheScopeBoston
