Excited to announce that my work on Bleeding Out w/ @LaurenCaruba got third in the Phil Meyer Award! As someone who learned about Meyer on my first day of data journalism class at UNC, this is a huge honor for me.
Congratulations to @dallasnews and @ExpressNews for earning the third place prize. “Bleeding Out” investigates why tens of thousands of injured Americans die from preventable bleeding each year. https://t.co/1yMFPJX0Zg

Half a billion gallons of raw sewage spilled into the Potomac last week. The @dcwater break still not entirely contained. An ice storm blankets DC. Huge environmental disaster. @SegravesNBC4 seems to be the only one covering. DC officials dismiss concern. Fish already dead.

Anthropic’s ambition isn’t just coding. It’s general agent. I’ve said this before: they’re building Jarvis in Iron Man. Claude isn’t good at multimodality yet. Once it can see what you see and hear what you hear, it becomes dramatically more useful. AI will not replace you. A
Introducing Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work. Cowork lets you complete non-technical tasks much like how developers use Claude Code.

Across the U.S., police officers moonlight in bars, clubs, and private security jobs with little oversight. A CBS News and Howard Center investigation reveals how weak policies allow misconduct, corruption, and threats to public safety to persist.

If you are a data journalist and you haven't tried Claude Code... give it a shot. Well worth the $20 IMHO.

I LOVE when news orgs narrate their long form stories — it makes the journalism way more accessible and gets people more into enterprise reporting. More of this!
ProPublica Narrated: Our best long-form investigations, read out loud. Our first story is an epic reading of a 5-part investigation, produced w/ @TheaterofWar: Why are the people of Albany, GA, so sick in a town dominated by its sole hospital? Tune in: https://t.co/Ot57j1veoK

NEW: @hrcberkeley says they were "shocked" to learn CBS pulled its 60 Minutes segment INSIDE CECOT "just hours before broadcast" after it "had already cleared CBS’s legal review and editorial standards," and directly respond to Bari Weiss' question about their students' analysis
It's a shame that—after Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment—tonight the public won't get to learn about the vital work that @hrcberkeley Investigations Lab students have done using OSINT research to document abuses suffered by migrants the U.S. government sent to CECOT.

This is incredible. 10/10 @JoannaStern
lol -- the WSJ let Anthropic's AI run a vending machine in the newsroom as an experiment. "It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear. Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared."

All 8.1 million US Census blocks. Visualized smoothly in 3D. Instant population and housing totals from a lasso selection. All running seamlessly in the browser, no traditional backend. While everyone’s talking about AI, it’s an incredible time for geospatial tech.

Instagram has been recommending gory videos of people being killed or horribly injured — including to young kids. My colleague @chrishnews has been working tirelessly for months to bring you this story — you should give it a read today:
cbsnews.com
Videos showing extreme violence are easily accessible on Instagram — and people are making thousands posting graphic content on the platform, a CBS News investigation found.
