Dear teen journalist: 👇🏿👇🏼👇🏾👇🏽
Journo students — you could spend an hour trawling the internet for story ideas. Or you could spend that same hour talking with a community member and leave with 5+ banger story ideas that no one else has and a new source for life. Try it. Trust me.

Dear teen journalist: Looking for opinion writing tips? Have I got a 🧵 for you! #1: An opinion piece is not a first-person essay. Example of a reported personal piece: jta.org/2023/03/03/religion/… @JTAnews Example of an opinion piece: curtislog.org/op-ed/2022/01/… IG: @thecurtislog

Dear teen journalist: Sources don’t “note” or “add” things. They say things. Stick with “said.”

There are reporters and then there are reporters who spend 5 days camping by a raging forest fire in Siberia, because “I just wanna get the story right.” Our profile of a colleague whose drive to understand Russia represents the very best of my profession. wsj.com/articles/wsj-reporte…

Dear teen journalist: "Can you give me an example of that?" is a follow-up question you should ask at least once in every interview.

Some of my shots over the years of the 100+ year old oak tree in the center of @mfsfox's campus, near the Fox Den. Head of School Julia de la Torre wrote to alumni this morning that the tree "experienced significant damage" and needs to be removed. @MFSWordsWorth

🎉Hawaii is officially the 16th New Voices state! 🎉 HUGE congratulations to the advocates who worked so hard to pass the Hawaii Student Journalism Protection Act. The law will protect student journalists and advisers against censorship and retaliation. bit.ly/39P7tPS
For @Poynter, I shared how we use hands-on experience and mentorship to train our @NNN_News broadcast reporters and how other student newsrooms can implement our strategies. Thank you to @blatchfordtr for having me and for supporting student journalists! poynter.org/educators-studen…

Dear journalism advisers: Everything in your student publication should be localized for your audience. Every story should be connected to the student community.

.@JoeyMaya71 and I spent the morning riding along #Chicago with the Homelessness Outreach Team from @Haymarket120, which identifies individuals experiencing homelessness and helps them access services. The story next week on @NNN_News’s Chicago show.
Have you seen the QR codes on the ground around @NorthwesternU south campus this week? 📲 Tonight on @NNN_News, I went scanning around to figure out where they came from:

Dear teen journalist: This is a PERFECT example of how to localize a story. The writer is taking a national issue (major snow storm with electrical outages) and making it relevant to her audience by finding students from her community/audience (UPENN) in the affected areas.

She’s such a teacher. This is her bulletin board 😂😂💜
First Lady Jill Biden put a massive Valentine's display on the North Lawn. "I just wanted some joy. With the pandemic, just everybody's feeling a little down. So, it's just a little joy. A little hope. That's all."
