Donated. @rebtanhs was the editor-in-chief at my college paper, @thedailypenn, and she’s a prolific talent who would be a tremendous asset to any newsroom lucky to have her.

If you have ever appreciated the Post’s international coverage, know that it relies on a network of local staff and contractors now being laid off without many of the protections provided by our Guild. Please share to support these courageous people: gofund.me/a1da16561

Super proud of the @BaltimoreBanner for winning an IRE award for our Key Bridge collapse coverage. Judges called it "a colossal effort." At the time, we didn't even have a live blog, but we did have great journalists who know this community and what the bridge meant to it.

🧵 The latest @baltimorebanner @nytimes collab on the opioid crisis in Baltimore is a disturbing look at PHA Healthcare, essentially a government-funded drug house where people relapsed, fell deeper into addiction and sometimes died. thebaltimorebanner.com/commu…
They entered treatment. Drugs, overdoses and deaths followed.

They entered treatment. Drugs, overdoses and deaths followed.

Baltimore addiction programs draw patients with free housing while collecting millions. Some say one program—PHA Healthcare—offered little help.
