I started yesterday as the Program Director, Fellowship @tarbellcenter. I’m so excited to support journalists who will be shaping our understanding of AI at a crucial time. I would say I'll say more soon, but honestly, going 2 years without tweeting was great, so maybe I won't!

I want to cover what's coming in the deepest and best way I could. So — I'm starting a publication!
It's called Public Reason, and it's dedicated to covering what I see as the heart of the crisis of American and global democracy: a revolution in ideas. public-reason.com/
Congratulations on your exciting new thing @zackbeauchamp!
I've written a post outlining my theory of the midterms as a kind of preview of what I'll be doing with Public Reason.
Our full launch — with a lot more content — will come this Monday. But if you subscribe during the pre-launch, you get 20 percent off

I'm hiring! I'm looking for a seasoned editor or reporter to own Tarbell's partnerships with newsrooms — the backbone of our fellowship program — as we expand to more fellows in more places and strengthen coverage on a crucial beat. Apply by Sept. 21: tarbellcenter.org/careers/he…
If you're interested but on the fence, I'm happy to talk more in early Sept. [email protected]
Some very overdue Personal (Professional) News: After 12 amazing years, I left @voxdotcom at the end of March. I didn’t say anything at the time because the thought of trying to sum up the 12 best years of my career — the majority of my adult life! — was too daunting.
I was also lucky enough to help out at @washingtonsun on contract for a few weeks — they're an incredible newsroom on the verge of something really exciting. Plus, I got to live my dream of annoying @Alex_Roarty on Slack.

The media didn't dodge the Biden age story: The biggest papers in the country published lengthy stories. The public wasn't in the dark about it, either. But questions about Biden's fitness for office were not emphasized as much as they should have been. vox.com/politics/358877/bide…

This is the most important story I've reported in my career.
First-of-its-kind evidence of a sustained campaign to harass, threaten, and even harm American citizens — conducted by an alleged American ally.

I wrote about the child care industry collapse that never happened and the fact that more moms are working today than any time on record.
We don’t need to rely on disaster econ predictions to champion better family policy!

this is lovely and made me wonder: do people still write letter-like emails to their friends? my gmail inbox is filled with lovely individual and group epistles from 2004 to 2013, when everyone had smartphones and the long email just died nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

New Vox piece I'm excited to share:
I wrote about the success of new publicly-owned housing built recently in Montgomery County, MD that has inspired cities like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago to follow suit. HUD + @FurmanCenterNYU also exploring the model.
