CPJ documented 99 journalists and media workers killed worldwide in 2023 — more than three quarters of whom died in the Israel-Gaza war.
This 2023 global total is the highest since 2015 and an almost 44% increase from 2022.

As you may have heard, Stolen is ending its run at Spotify. Thank you all for listening & supporting the show. We're so proud of our work & grateful we’ve had the space to tell Indigenous stories. We’d love to find a new home for Stolen- there are more important stories to tell.

Connie Walker, host of Spotify Studios’ Stolen, has spent years reporting on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Here’s how she gets it done. trib.al/AyFtUIe

It's so cool to get this recognition from an org that has always prioritized the people making the work and risk-taking in audio. We're honored!
(2/2) And finally, congratulations to the Best Serialized Story Finalists! Perhaps our most competitive category (!) recognizing work that builds & unfolds over multiple parts, widely interpreted. Explore the full list & the links for each of these works: thirdcoastawards.org/2022-23…
Thanks @27east and @sagharboronline, where I got my start, for writing about Stolen! Every story is a local story first.

"...I believe it's all of our responsibility to help support Indigenous people to tell our own stories." - @connie_walker shares how Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's began as a very personal story but became representative of so much more. 🏆

It’s oooooooout!
In today’s #ThisLand bonus episode we take you inside the Supreme Court to break down last week’s surprise decision upholding #ICWA.
Listen wherever you get ur pods.
ALT The image is of the podcast art for this land. In reddish orange letters that look painted, it says “This Land” around a pair of children’s shoes.
Losing Emma is devastating for Stolen. She is an extraordinarily talented engineer and composer. Last season, she worked with a Cree cellist to build a sound for the show that was distinct and so beautiful. Emma is wicked fast and she is kind. You'd be lucky to work with her.
joining the chorus to say i was laid off from @gimletmedia yesterday. it’s surreal and sad and a million other things. if you need any mixing/sound design/composing/guitar lessons…i am now free 🫡

Yesterday @Spotify announced that Gimlet and Parcast no longer exist. Here is our joint statement with @ParcastUnion. Full text threaded below: 🧵
I second this 👇🏻Such an incredibly sad and avoidable end to Gimlet today
Listening to the final broadcast of @TheTakeaway today with sadness, but also so much gratitude for what the show taught me and the friendships I made along the way. Sending extra love to @jaycowit and @vincefair who have been the backbone of this team since day one.
From its inception, @TheTakeaway had a mission to cover the news in a different way and to center voices and stories that for a long time were ignored on public radio. I think it succeeded most in this mission in its final years under @MHarrisPerry. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tak…

I was fortunate enough to get a private screening of the film, Killers of the Flower Moon earlier this month. Having been marginally released from my NDA with the premiere of the film today at Cannes, I have a few thoughts.
