NPR has traditionally only had one Black male reporter at a time, and no Black man has hosted @MorningEdition or @npratc in 45 years... slate.com/business/2024/04/n…

Good thing people have short attention spans so lazy opEds written by people who have been in positions of editorial power for a quarter of a century blame people who haven’t had that kind of editorial power for what’s wrong (while pretending they’re pointing the finger at leadership) And, then they publish their opinions about “newsrooms with agendas where diverse perspectives aren’t valued” on a site that has a clear agenda and doesn't value diverse perspectives.

Three years ago, I got some footage that I couldn’t get out of my mind. It showed the first police killing captured on body-worn cameras in NY. The NYPD didn’t want anyone to see it. It eventually launched me on the biggest story I’ve ever done, w/ @NYTmag [THREAD]

.@KA_marketplace has a smart story on how much ads cost. She interviewed our EVP @zackroday. “GOP strategist @ZackRoday with Ascent said that as Election Day gets closer and ad inventories dwindle, that price disparity will only get bigger.” 1/2 marketplace.org/2023/09/21/h…

Here's the original SolarWinds story if you'd like to read it. I worked on it for more than a year, beginning in late 2020 when I conducted the first interviews, then working on it on and off, as I gathered more research and conducted more interviews wired.com/story/the-untold-s…

Australian guy plagiarized SolarWinds story I wrote for @WIRED by creating ad-supported @Youtube vid in which audio is just him reading entire article without revealing he's reading article. Viewers think work is his. He's got 84,000 views & 200 comments praising him for the work

1/Months in the making, here's the final cut of my story on the long-awaited wealth transfer, no longer in the future tense: We're closer to 2053 than 1992. Elites are already disbursing to heirs while alive. The masses likely need luck or a paradigm shift nytimes.com/2023/05/14/busin…
