I absolutely love this story 💌
Baltimore’s old houses often have secrets stashed inside. The @BaltimoreBanner solved the mystery of century-old love letters with a romance novel-like plot.

So proud of @PeterKramer for this well-deserved recognition. Only he could have told Vaniya’s story with such heart and grace

Hello, photographer friends! I'm doing some early planning for editorial coverage of a large multi-day conference. Drop me a DM if I can pick your brain about fair freelance photography costs.

Budding Journalists: It's easy to fill your story with quotes. It's harder to paraphrase what people say, adding in your own context and clarity. Yet the latter makes for much better storytelling. Save your quotes for when others say it better than you ever could.

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.
Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

A weird part of being an editor for an upstate NY paper while living in NM was grasping my peers’ fierce devotion to the Bills. But after helping to cover Damar Hamlin, plus so much Buffalo went through recently, I know I now have a favorite football team for life: @BuffaloBills
For the first time since last season, Damar Hamlin is out on the field. 🫶

"In [Oppenheimer], both the test site and the Los Alamos Laboratory in Northern New Mexico are remote, unpopulated areas ... The reality is starkly different."
And those who lived downwind from the nuclear tests still feel its effects.
