New: for pt 2 in my inequality series for @nytimes, i dug into a deeply painful paradox: if we've truly had 2 jobs for every 1 unemployed person, how is it that ~60% of all those leaving prison are unemployed (*seeking and not finding work*) a year later?

A group of incredibly talented Gimlet staffers were laid off today - producers, reporters, editors, engineers, and more. If you have any work for them or need help making a podcast or audio project, please reach out and let me connect you with the right person!

Thanks for taking the time to write this. You likely meant to say “irrelevant,” but “irreverent” comes across as a compliment. Have a great weekend.

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one. Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce. I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting. But this time, alone.

John Lansing, NPR CEO, at the @MorningEdition meeting. NPR says it will de-emphasize Twitter. Aside from the misleading label, NPR says Twitter isn’t used by most Americans; drives little traffic to NPR; and “no longer has the public service relevance that it once had.”

NPR's official Twitter feeds have gone silent. The news organization cites the social media platform's decision to question NPR's editorial independence through a series of inaccurate labels.
