I met Martha Shaw, 84, a year after she lost everything. This is her journey. When editors ask if you’d report a lengthy narrative to help 38 million readers better understand #climatechange, you do it. A special project for @aarp magazine.

“These charges are patently absurd.”. My @niemanfdn colleague, widely respected journalist Yuyu Dong, was sentenced tonight to 7 yrs in prison in China for “espionage.” . Some of the evidence: He spoke with the Japanese ambassador to China.

Underappreciated post.
Have to wonder if news “influencers” could exist without the MSM to provide their raw material, ie., the news. Their commentary depends on the legwork of the very news organizations they so often criticize.

Big thanks to @billmckibben for sharing my @AARP piece in his newsletter. 🙏. It tells the story of Martha Shaw, 84, who lost everything in a hurricane goosed by climate warming & rising seas. She's since been through 2 more.
