This is my kind of bling bag. Still a bit shocked, but maybe this will amplify the voice of a whistleblower who hoped that his story brings change to a broken agricultural system.
Congrats @shanegoesforth on two (!) James Beard awards for a story on the onion we all love and its hidden costs to humanity.

"By the time Fluffy was a year old, she and Buckley were inseparable." Read an excerpt of the latest @atavist story, "Sanctuary," about the bond between a woman and an elephant. By @shannonajc1 longreads.com/2023/03/08/big…
“There are many kinds of love stories. This one involves a woman and an elephant, and the bond between them spanning nearly 50 years.” #longreads take note! @shannonajc1 magazine.atavist.com/sanctua…

With inflation at its highest in 40 years, you may think you know all the causes. Here’s one you likely missed. @MichaelGrabell takes you on a journey in which hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of quickly ripening bananas hang in the balance. propublica.org/article/ocean…

The work @janwinburnCNN is doing is vital. She created a class @umontana focused on "The Worst Day Ever: Writing about Trauma." Her sensitive guide to interviewing victims of trauma is as helpful to journalists as it is to her students niemanstoryboard.org/stories… via @niemanstory
4 students in my trauma class at @UMJSchool will be featured in @niemanstory over the next few weeks. They interviewed pros who do this work with sensitivity: @TheMoniBasu @RoamingRavitz @jdsutter and NPR's Nate Rott.

A big hooray for @JoshuaWSharpe whose reporting set free a man who was wrongfully convicted. And whose heart is as big as his journalism. @LivingstonAward
Congratulations @JoshuaWSharpe of @ajc for reporting that changed history and the course of one man’s life. In “The Imperfect Alibi,” Sharpe debunked the alibi of a long-overlooked suspect and proved the innocence of a man wrongly imprisoned for 20 years.
Honored to answer four questions from the great writer & writing coach @chipscanlan whose blog should be every writer's binge reading: chipswritinglessons.com/2020…
@geneweingarten I have six working antique clocks in my house and one copy of One Day and would that get you to talk to my MFA students who, btw, I've required buy your book?
