The narrative investigations workshop is back! I’ll be doing it for @sunlightresearch.bsky.social on Friday (August 15) and I’m really excited. I’ve switched it up a little bit since last time and I’ve learned some things that I’m eager to share with you. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTHsxxyvXP...

Join Houston Chronicle investigative reporter @andreacaroleball.bsky.social for a hands-on workshop on transforming investigations into unforgettable, character-driven narratives. 🗓️ Friday, August 15 | 12–1 p.m. ET 1/3 🧵

Sometimes, amid all the stories of pain and blame in a disaster, rebuilding seems impossible. But thanks to human resilience and generosity, it's happening in the aftermath of the July 4 floods. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Woo hoo!

I'm very sorry to say that Tim Walker has been found dead after being swept away in the Texas floods. “We are grateful to have closure,” his daughter Bronwyn said. “He had a wonderful final day on the 3rd surrounded by the people he loved most." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Covering these tragedies - I can't explain what it's like. I just try to tell myself that while I may be struggling with the story, they are living it. Please read this piece about Tim Walker, who went missing in the Texas floods. You will want to know him. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

The sweetest foster puppies.

Omg so cute

Please come! Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow :) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Uh oh! I haven’t even finished doing my current workshop and am already developing a new one: How to Cover Nonprofits. Tentatively named “The cash, the crash and the thief who skipped town.” But first, make sure you sign up for this! lnkd.in/gkbmh8AD

Good morning! -- Menefee: They get in front of a judge, and they say, ‘Oh, never mind.' It taught us that the Trump administration is both calculated and has no clue what it's doing. #whitehouse: Menefee is a “radical leftist attorney” appeasing Dem donors instead of “upholding the rule of law.”

It’s been a nice weekend! Bought a bunch of cheap makeup to experiment with! Before and after.

Back by popular demand, @andreacaroleball.bsky.social will present another reporting workshop for IRE members! She'll talk about that one thing that affects everything in your reporting ... Who you are. Learn how to lean into that and tell better stories. 🗓️ June 10 www.ire.org/event/free-w...

Andddddd… I’m back. Please come!!

Bad things happen. Let people help you.

I cannot tell you how much I hate that these links only show my face. Maybe I need to start the videos with a mask…

I know it's hard for everyone right now, but the staff of the Houston Landing is being laid off after mismanagement by their board and upper management. Many are good friends, all are top notch journalists, and they could use some help while they look for new jobs. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ho...

Whhyyyyyy

When the Trump decided to eliminate DEI funding, few imagined a Houston reading camp would be caught in the political crossfire. It was. So are people with disabilities, unhoused veterans, domestic violence programs and other unlikely targets. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investi...
