Breaking News: The Border Patrol leader Greg Bovino mocked the Jewish faith of the U.S. attorney in Minnesota during a call with lawyers, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation.

SPJ strongly condemns today’s arrest of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and Georgia Fort in connection with their reporting on a Jan. 18 demonstration at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota. 🔗 Read the full statement: bit.ly/4rrqYAQ

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

PG NEWS: On January 20th, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed contempt charges against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for defying court orders to restore workers’ health care plan. newsguild.org/labor-board-...

If you're following the unbuilding of CBS News: "A story with on-camera sources, legal clearance, and five rounds of vetting gets killed for not being ready. A story with anonymous sources and internal objections gets published because the editor-in-chief wanted it." www.readtpa.com/p/what-the-t...

Breaking news posts like this demand facts and context. This is just stenography. It happens every damn day: being first & Trump friendly wins over doing journalism. This ought to include what Walz & Frey have or have not actually done in Minnesota. (Hint: not impede ICE)

The Block family’s Post-Gazette also once owned WWSW Radio, where I had worked. When the Blocks decided to sell the radio station, I remember the late PG patriarch Bill Block Sr. coming to speak to the affected employees. He explained that he had vetted the new owner. 1/

Tony Norman's Requiem for the Post-Gazette: pghrev.com/requiem-for-...

Well folks, some news. Ownership is folding @pghcitypaper.com. I wish I could say this was more surprising. I'll be on the lookout for new roles while I continue to teach and hopefully find places to publish some stories I haven't finished. In the meantime, I'm all ears for opportunities.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Congratulations, @pghguild.com . x.com/PGHGuild/sta...

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

"We need an accurate record on issues that are contested" @cward1e.bsky.social writes, but the reality is that "information sources are disappearing. This is preventing fact checkers, journalists, researchers and policymakers from doing their jobs." fullfact.org/technology/m...

Update: At 5:07pm, Tyler Pager has published this follow up. Don't love the "Jewish leaders denounce" framing--I imagine (and hope) that many people and groups denounced it as well--but credit to the Times for covering Trump's antisemitic slur. Better late than never. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/04/u...

No mention of Trump’s “Shylock” slur in this NY Times article about his “victory lap” speech in Iowa. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/u...

How do you write an entire piece about the need to train more blue collar workers for factory jobs & fail to mention the role labor unions play in doing just that? Sure seems like a stunning oversight by @nytimes.com. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/b...

Holy crap

Absolutely brutal and hilarious takedown of Bill Maher from the one and only Larry David.

what’s the point of access journalism if you don’t use your access to do journalism

White House officials appear to be withholding pool reporters' dispatches when the reports include information -- eg that a Netanyahu press conference was canceled, or that AP was barred -- that they don't like. Another holy-shit scoop from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/white-hous...

We requested @post-gazette.com give the improved health care we recently won to all bargaining unit employees. To be clear, the 3rd Circuit Court already ordered the PG to do this. It’s just delaying in an attempt to deny its CURRENT employees health care.

You won't like it, but I'll try to explain "the big news organizations simply lack a vocabulary for..." The people running these newsrooms look at what he did, then they look at what's sayable in their normal discourse, then instead of changing what's sayable to meet the man a bad headline is born.

BREAKING: Today the 3rd Circuit Court enjoined the @post-gazette.com ordering the company to — upon request — immediately restore the health care it illegally took away in 2020, and bargain with us. This is an enormous win and the most consequential day of our entire strike.

A lovely and brave message from VOA director Mike Abramowitz. Such a loss

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.
