In April 2019, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette hosted a public forum called "The War on Truth" to discuss the attacks on a free press and honor Jamal Khashoggi.

Welcome news for my highly talented former colleagues from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, including @stevemellon412.bsky.social @awimley.bsky.social

In memory of the great Michel du Cille, photojournalist and photo editor of the Miami Herald and Washington Post, who died 10 years ago today. His greatness was his talent but he brought more to the news industry by sharing his principled standards about journalism and photography. He's missed.

June 28, 2018. “For a moment, though, working by his truck in a garage across from his destroyed newsroom, Pat symbolized the best of us and helped write the story that represented the best of American journalism.”

I played tennis for two years inside San Quentin prison with Kenny, now paroled and making positive contributions to society helping others. Beyond proud of his new life he worked hard to achieve. His first game at Chase Center, too.

Highly recommend!
