Dear fellow media covering mass shootings in the U.S.: I have a few thoughts on how to minimize harm. First of all, this is not a media-bashing post. Because we are not a monolith, change within our industry can take a long time. Second, as evidenced by the stories reported that there are...

NEW: Nike says most of the 1.1M people making its products earn 1.9X their local minimum wage. We obtained a payroll ledger for a Cambodian factory that supplied Nike for two years. 1% of the workforce earned that much. Team effort with @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social. www.propublica.org/article/nike...

"Not only have vaccination rates for measles, mumps and rubella fallen, but federal data shows that so have those for pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B and polio." by @deldeib.bsky.social + @sheinvestigates.bsky.social / @lucaswaldron.bsky.social + @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

How the reality crime show “The First48” painted “a wholly inaccurate picture” that led to a wrongful conviction. Read the full @propublica.org investigation by @jlussenhop.bsky.social 📸 by me ~ www.propublica.org/article/firs...

ProPublica's @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social moved back to her native California on Jan. 4. Three days later, the LA wildfires began. As an investigative newsroom, ProPublica doesn't usually cover breaking news, but SB knew she had to document what was going on. Her first stop was Altadena.

After a two-week break, the NPPA newsletter is back. I penned this week’s reading list. There are photos from Election Day, Ukraine, data from Women Photograph on freelance editorial rates, a wonderful essay by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social, and more. 🔗: nppa.org/news/730

My job is to make photographs, but a big part of the fulfillment I get is from making connections 💙 read the full story I wrote for @propublica that goes behind the scenes into the why & how of telling visual stories. www.propublica.org/article/tips...
