Veteran reporter on federal health issues. Saw "censorship through media policy" begin to take over. Stunned news outlets can't report this murderous thing.

No major TV network will be showing Trump cutting the ribbon on his new White House helipad. C-SPAN also says it's out.
C-SPAN says it relies on the TV network pool for coverage of the president: "Without a pool feed, we will not be showing the 1:45pm White House event."

Intriguing: I'm told the Office of the First Lady has approved CNN reporter @betsy_klein's credential to cover an event with Melania Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly tomorrow.

Again, really proud of my former student @jamesdpaul and his dedication to the jail beat here in PGH.
🧵1/5 When juvenile girls go to the Allegheny County Jail, they’re housed separately in the medical housing unit — almost exclusively by themselves. Since 2016, there have been only 195 days in which more than a single girl has been in custody.

All these layoffs of journalists at such a crucial moment when we need checks and balances and accountability more than ever before. It feels so ominous for our democracy.

#Alabama: CPJ is incredibly concerned by the arrest of Atmore News publisher Sherry Digmon and reporter Don Fletcher and calls on local authorities to immediately drop all charges against them. They should not be prosecuted for simply doing their jobs. cpj.org/2023/10/alabama-publ…

A tidal wave of new primary sources from the ancient world could very soon be on its way - enough to keep scholars busy for decades! The first words have being read from digitally ‘unrolled’ carbonised scrolls from a Roman library in Herculaneum! (Image: Nat Friedman)

Sometimes I'm working & suddenly think- wow, my dad died. He was here and now he's gone. Forever. All this crap just keeps on and he's not here anymore for it. 83 years and then poof, gone. I'm glad he made a swift exit but it still feels weird to be in the world without him.

ICYMI: This important ruling came after journalist @BrittanyHailer, represented by @rcfp attorneys, fought to access to autopsy records concerning a man who died inside the Allegheny County Jail in 2020. Learn more about the ruling: rcfp.org/hailer-commonwealth…
The Commonwealth Court has held that autopsy and toxicology records are publicly accessible from coroners and medical examiners, provided the appropriate fee is paid. Read here: pacourts.us/assets/opinions/…

It’s 2023, and I’m shocked we even have to say this… slavery did NOT BENEFIT Black people. This country was built on our backs — America benefitted from Black people. ✊🏾 📷: IG/valeisha
