I spent this summer in a federal courthouse watching Carlos Watson’s trial and sending @joshuahersh voice memos about it. It was a wild ride and here’s a lil sneak peek of a special 3 part podcast for CJR: The Unraveling of Ozy Media starting Monday.

As one of the only voices speaking directly to Spanish speaking Iowans, Lorena Lopez and her newspaper @LaPrensaIowa have become a key counterpoint to misinformation – and a symbol of the kind of trust that only local news can build with its readers. With host @joshuahersh on this week’s Kicker.

For @CJR's The Kicker, I spoke with two talented and insightful reporters at Haaretz, the liberal Israeli newspaper that's been a defiant voice of critical journalism since Oct 7th (and beyond) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Haaretz is one of Israel’s most respected newspapers. It’s also one of the few willing to openly criticize the government for its treatment of Palestinians. @joshuahersh speaks with journalists @hagar_shezaf and @omerbenj for The Kicker
