PR folks: If you routinely email me bad press releases that have nothing to do with Michigan/Michigan politics there is an Outlook rule sending them straight to trash. I'm not a PR expert but if you're blasting a national list with trivial crap you're probably doing it wrong.

A PR person once told me to read a male reporter’s story on an administrative body so I could improve my understanding. It was the male reporter’s first time covering this board. I’d covered it for years.
Wake up Be told to read male colleagues’ stories on topics I’ve also covered Go back to bed

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

I shouldn't be the only female reporter on this shortlist. I was the only female reporter in lots of rooms/scrums over the years and that is NOT the current lay of the land. The press corps has diversified, but who insiders follow/take seriously/recognize hasn't. Catch up🧵

A young journalist asked me yesterday if she would be safe at a specific newspaper. My answer: No one is safe anywhere. Her reply: Should I stay in journalism? I feel there’s so much good to be done. Here’s what I said:

This is the fifth mass shooting I've covered this year.
For today’s first @washingtonpost TikTok: The fifteenth mass killing this year. This time, in Louisville. tiktok.com/t/ZTR3FJy8X/

Brent Kopacka, a veteran and Purple Heart recipient who suffered from PTSD, was killed in a SWAT standoff. It was already hard for his loved ones. Then strangers on the internet began claiming he was somehow involved in the murders of four Idaho students. washingtonpost.com/crime-law…

Will preventive scans & screenings - the kind we’ve all become used to getting for no cost since the ACA was enacted, such as mammograms - now start costing money again thanks to a court ruling? Here’s the immediate reaction from an expert who’s been watching the case:
I've been fielding a bunch of questions about Judge O'Connor's decision on the preventive services mandate and, for the very curious, I'll answer a few of them here. First, when does the decision take effect?

We dropped the paywall for this story so it's available for everyone to read: wapo.st/40MuIj7
“It literally can pulverize bones … it can provide this blast effect.” The AR-15 is the weapon of choice for many mass killers. The Post sought to illustrate the lethal force of the weapon and show in detail its catastrophic effects. wapo.st/3lF9moX

Everyone has their breaking point. Mine was seeing a video of a victim laughing and dancing with friends. One of them was wearing a MSU Social Norms shirt. For context, the MSU health center makes these shirts with little duck cartoons and goofy slogans for partying safely.

Earlier, I spoke to the family of Arielle Anderson, one of the victims in the Michigan State mass shooting. Her grandma and aunts said she was an angel who always put her family and friends first. Story coming soon for @BridgeMichigan – at Grosse Pointe Woods, MI

would love to hear @nytimes explain why it used a mass shooting to dredge up a completely unrelated tragedy while adding absolutely nothing new to either
