Emily is the best sports data journalist working right now, and I have no doubt she will continue to do incredible things in whichever newsroom is lucky enough to hire her. I’ll deeply miss getting to work with such an amazing colleague (and fellow FPL fan!!!)

After years of devastating overdose deaths, Baltimore is finally seeing progress. But the crisis hasn't ended — it's changed. by @alissazhu.bsky.social & @sahanajayaraman.bsky.social www.thebanner.com/community/pu...

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

We are so incredibly thrilled to receive this honor. Working on this project was one of the highlights of my career and I could not be more grateful to @ire.org and my entire team. Thank you to all my colleagues at @thebaltimorebanner.com and all of our readers and supporters.
