Our winning story by @drewphilp.bsky.social is about a probable genocide. It's stunning and unflinching. He reported the hell out of it over 2 years, as a freelancer, and the result is the most definitive account about the conflict published anywhere. magazine.atavist.com/2025/there-w...

I have almost no followers on this platform, but if you see this thread I would be grateful if you shared: renewed war is likely days or hours away in Tigray, Ethiopia. The last war was among the deadliest of the 21st century 1/n

I'm thrilled that @atavist.com's harrowing story about a hospital weathering civil war and genocide in Ethiopia is on the short list for the 2026 True Story Award. Huge congrats to author @drewphilp.bsky.social! Read the story here: magazine.atavist.com/2025/there-w...

I've got some things I plan on doing over on the YouTubes this year (and beyond!). There's already a channel where the podcast hangs out. Here's the latest with @drewphilp.bsky.social, who recently wrote for @atavist.com. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxva...

Fantastique reportage dans un hôpital au Tigré, en Ethiopie. Du journalisme narratif que l'auteur a pitché comme un épisode d'«Urgences» @drewphilp.bsky.social magazine.atavist.com/there-will-b...

A piece I've worked on for two years. Many, many people who have participated in this story are risking their lives and freedom to tell it. Did the world intentionally overlook a genocide in Ethiopia? magazine.atavist.com/there-will-b...

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, as Palestinians walk to what's left of their homes, here is a story of what was likely another genocide. 4 health care workers shared what they experienced at great personal risk. Drew Philp's riveting piece will break your heart. magazine.atavist.com/there-will-b...

Conversation with the reporter, Drew Philp, coming this Friday. This story is essential reading.
