This is what can happen when you don’t give up on a feature story despite roadblocks that cause you to bust a couple of deadlines in my magazine writing class. Nice work @James_Schaak

Omid Safi, Duke U prof of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in @nytimes: Students “don’t have to give up their values. But some part of the educational process does call for stepping beyond each one of our vantage points enough to know that none of us have the monopoly on truth.”
For context and commentary on the dismissal of the Hamline instructor on baseless charges of "Islamophobia," read the two pieces that broke the story: 1/ Islamic art professor Christiane Gruber details the incident & how it undermines academic freedom. newlinesmag.com/argument/aca…

St. Cloud Times, which publishes a print paper six days a week, has two reporters because of Gannett cuts. Two. A few months ago, there were nine. In 2014, there were 36. What an awful hit to local news. Send Becca and Abdulla all the love.
Sadly, as of this week we're only down to two. @AbdullaGaafare1 and I are working hard to cover the St. Cloud area, but it's sad to see local journalism take a big hit.

Thank you @ehanford for articulating what all journalism students should keep in mind about the importance of the serious, ethical and purposeful reporting @cworthcw has always championed.
Here's how @cworthcw laid out our mission in 2016: "APM Reports fills a void. Today's divisive and complex climate in America requires thoughtful, in-depth reporting across a range of issues... 1/3 remarkboard.com/m/minnesota-…
