The awful news of layoffs in media continues. If you’re interested in joining a great team at @BaltimoreBanner, we have some openings. And hell if you want to work here and do something you don’t see listed, I’d encourage you to make that pitch too! boards.greenhouse.io/thebalt…

I love what we're building @BaltimoreBanner, but we can't do it without your help. For the next 72 hours, your donation will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10k. We need thriving local news! thebaltimorebanner.com/give/

When you go into your beloved city’s downtown library to do some research and see your book on their display “Baltimore for Newcomers.” Thanks @prattlibrary @BaltimoreBanner readers 📚🙏

Wednesday there will be a ceremony at the Guardians of the First Amendment memorial in Annapolis. There will be speeches, tears and a recounting of those tragic events on June 28, 2018. Today I'd like to tell you another part of the story.

In which @RyanLittleE and @FurrierTranform cap off a year of data reporting in Baltimore by laying out all the ways they found quality of life and other outcomes in the city are largely determined by what neighborhood you live in.

🎉 Happy 1st birthday to @baltimorebanner! In celebration, we have no paywall all day today (Wednesday) and Thursday. This is a great time to catch up on what we’ve been up to over the past year. I’ll thread some of my favorites below.

More on impact reporting from @KevinLoker at @AmPress, who references the outstanding work of my former colleague @AnjDelgado of the @freep.
I'm in a @BaltimoreBanner meeting talking about how to tell the story of our community impact, a conversation that fills me with optimism. More people should know what this team has accomplished in less than a year of daily publishing: thebaltimorebanner.com/our-i… Pass it on!
Great #NPASummit session today with @mutalenkonde and lots of smart @newsproduct people on the promise and peril of AI in news. (Good resources and thoughts in session doc here: docs.google.com/document/d/1… )
If you want to dive deeper, don't miss this on Friday:
Excited to lead a session for @newsproduct at the #NPASummit this week!
My session with @thensim0nsaid on Friday at 12pm ET is titled "Let AI do the boring stuff so you can focus on your community" and I can't wait!

My soon-to-be employer is hiring a product manager. (This is a hybrid position with some in-office work required -- at a lovely Baltimore Inner Harbor location!) Reach out if you have questions. boards.greenhouse.io/thebalt…

📣 Join @eulken at #NPASummit2023 for this timely topic! 😂

Professional update: Friday was my last day at @Gannett. I'm grateful for everything I learned there and the many dedicated people I had the privilege to work with. In the face of economic challenges and corporate upheaval, they are doing their best to serve their communities. 🫡
Later this month I'll be joining the impressive team at @BaltimoreBanner as head of product. What sold me was the opportunity to truly obsess over finding a digital business model that supports quality local journalism, and the potential for replicable success.
Thanks to @imtiazbaltnews, @kyoshino and the whole leadership team for their vision and their trust.
I can't wait to get started.

Exciting news! @newsproduct was featured as "One to Watch" in the News Industry by @FutureTodayInst's annual Tech Trends Report.
Each year @amywebb presents the report at @sxsw with a comprehensive analysis of the most important technology trends that will shape the future.

Great to see editorial leadership from @glichfield on how Wired will or won’t use generative AI: wired.com/story/how-wired-wi… — will be interesting to compare as other newsrooms establish guidelines. h/t @mowafakallaham
