My state will not help make up IDCs and think we can just persevere through it because they won't cut direct costs. Last year we ranked 6 in the nation on research expenditures. We will rapidly decline when we need to line item admin into DC to be operational www.dailycardinal.com/article/2025...

Firing the heads of Institutes at the NIH (NIAID, NIDA, NCI, etc) will mean: -More cancer deaths -More overdose deaths -More AIDS deaths -More asthma deaths -More cardiovascular deaths -More lupus deaths -More measles deaths -More sepsis deaths -More liver & kidney-related deaths -More infant deaths

Just noticing that my 2023 book How Journalists Engage: A theory of trust building, identities and care that documents several movements happening in the industry (Engagement, solutions, etc) and proposes a theory based in an ethic of care is half off rn on amazon: www.amazon.com/s?k=how+jour...

As I do my syllabi for my classes, I’m feeling grateful for all the journalists and journalism scholars being willing to zoom in to talk to my students. Remember that this year as we go into darkness, we can be there for each other.

Launching the third phase of a 3-year study using applied research with Solutions Journalism Network, Hearken, Trusting News. I have a fantastic team of coders for the thousands of election stories we are about to analyze. Wish us speedy reading!!

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars. When women rage, we create. We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things. Behold rage project #1

Fraudster. For life.

Prepping to write a 2025 journalism prediction for Nieman Reports but my mind is only going to dark places for this profession I love. Typically I am all upbeat and optimistic for these. Please send photos of puppies and rainbows and sunshine so I can trick my mind to find my mojo again. Sigh.

I've officially switched to DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. It's not a privacy thing, though that's probably an added bonus. It's just a better search engine. That wasn't true when I tried five years ago, but it has gotten better and Google has gotten much worse in the intervening years 

Friends, I am here for all the Thanksgiving food posts. Please indulge. Especially pies.

Friends who write reports for centers, etc.: I am begging you to please put all the citation information for your report right on the executive summary or home page for the report, and please especially include the date. But a full citation would be perfect. Thanks!

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Somewhere on here I saw that someone was recommending an academic litigation insurance company. Anyone have one they like?

I am collecting new books from journalism studies scholars and I have sticker shock at all these $200 hardback editions with no paperback available. I cannot do kindle because I use these for class and need to be able to copy them. (Unless there is a way now to get a chapter pdf off kindle?)
