NEW: TikTok's startling internal communication, research & data on child safety now revealed. Material from years-long probe was redacted in the states' recent lawsuits, but one state, Kentucky, had a redaction blunder. With @darakerr + @sylviaruthg npr.org/2024/10/11/g-s1-2767…

Salute to the news anchor who’s able to man her post despite things falling from the ceiling and her finding it hard to balance during the earthquake strike

A must listen: In China, a man has been playing the piano outdoors, often in places of great sadness—the epicenter of an earthquake, a dam that submerged villages, a street emptied during a COVID lockdown. He plays just one song, by Ryuichi Sakamoto. npr.org/2024/03/31/119891137…

Haley was asked this when she ran for governor in 2010. At that time, she called it a result of "tradition versus change." When pressed as to what that meant, she added “On individual rights and liberty of people." Tonight's response seems to take it a step further.
Stunning moment: At a town hall in Berlin, N.H., Nikki Haley was asked by a voter what was the cause of the Civil War. She said the war was about government interfering in people’s freedoms. The voter then called her out for not mentioning slavery.

Virginia refused to release 31 execution tapes to @NPR. So we sued. In response, a VA lawyer argued they were keeping the tapes hidden to protect families of ppl executed. But @tirzahchristoph & I talked to 4 families. They all want the tapes published: npr.org/2023/12/20/121968430…

News out of Canada -- a new $100M deal with Google -- could and should influence what the CA legislature does, and doesn't do, in 2024. Foremost : Focus on one key metric, actually increasing the number of LOCAL journalists originating LOCAL news. niemanlab.org/2023/11/newson…

A thread 🧵: I’m overwhelmed by the words of support that have come pouring in since our announcement yesterday that we’re shutting down The China Project. My sincere thanks to everyone who’s reached out directly or here. A few things to clarify: 1/x
