When I started out in the business, we were discouraged from ever mentioning competing newspapers by name. Now I'm proud to work for @DailyHerald — a paper with the class to publish a list like this, recognizing 40 departed colleagues from @ChicagoTribune.

Because anger and hostility destroy our peace of mind, it is they that are our real enemy. Anger ruins our health; a compassionate attitude restores it. If it were basic human nature to be angry, there’d be no hope, but since it is our nature to be compassionate, there is.

This is from a political reporter. It is very on point. And it helps underline something journalists need to understand. Spreading misinformation because you think it's your job to report "allegations of..." is bad journalism according to, not your critics, but your colleagues.
Hello journalists. Please do not retweet or quote claims about illegal ballot activity in Florida, Georgia or Arizona without fact checking those claims. You will help spread panic and mistrust and many of you already have.
