Trauma is a real concern for #journalists, who have been asked to adapt even more in shrinking newsrooms, cover events with a risk of injury/arrest/death, chronicle hate + threats against the #media, cover a pandemic-- all while trying to avoid bringing #COVID19 home to family.
Thank you for your reporting, and your empathy, @sarasidnerCNN.

President Biden made clear Friday morning that he has no interest in weighing in on former president Donald Trump’s indictment. “I have no comment,” Biden said multiple times on his way out of the White House en route to view storm damage in Mississippi. https://t.co/FNebogCk4k

Rolling Fork, MS, was hit by a major tornado tonight. The editor of the local paper is OK and on the job. She’s a one-woman show. If people like her weren’t covering the news in small, rural communities, who would? Support them.

This is heartbreaking. A meteorlogist who tried to warn his community about a tornado sees it changing direction and offers a prayer on air. At least 25 people died in this storm.

In 2010, Andrew Bellatti was speeding, lost control & hit a car, killing Dave Reid. Bellatti wasn't drunk or on drugs; he was running late. He wrote a letter to Reid's wife, Lynette, from jail. She found the note in June & began watching Bellatti's games

The empathy Bellatti expressed in a letter to the widow of the man he killed in a car accident made her ask for leniency. Now she views his success as a way to honor her late husband.
