Had to reinstall Twitter on my phone to post this, which is evidence of the esteem I hold him in! And also my continued frustration at the journalism industry chewing up brilliant people. Keep paying for the stuff you want to read, folks. There’s less of it than ever.

Ramzy is one of - if not the - best news editors I’ve worked with, and was key to what we built at huffpost (for those with long memories!). He builds inclusive, impactful teams and gets the best out of reporters, especially junior ones, helping to craft their work
Sad to say I've been laid off by openDemocracy, along with several of my incredible colleagues in the UK. It's one dark day of many for British journalism, but I'm immensely proud of everything we achieved together. Here's some of the best. 🧵

Rare in our industry for someone to be so universally loved. There won’t be many dry eyes today in the BBC newsroom. What a beautiful man.

On this day in 1989 I grabbed the video cassette containing all the famous pictures of the Tiananmen massacre inc the tank man & walked down to the Beijing Hotel lobby. A cop came over to arrest me but a burst of fire outside distracted him & I slipped past. We got the pictures

Brilliant. Talented. Intelligent. Dedicated. Fearless. Emily Morgan will always remain in the hearts of all those lucky enough to have worked with her. A first class journalist who will be missed by her family and many friends.

This is just utterly devastating news. I did work experience with Emily at ITN Westminster in my 20s - when a producer job came up, she called me and suggested I go for it. I owe a lot to her, and I bet I’m not the only one. A lovely, kind, brilliant woman

Amazing opportunity if you want to be a foreign correspondent. Richard gave me my start in journalism. As kid from a single parent household who didn’t go to oxbridge it made the world of difference. Please re-tweet.
The Richard Beeston bursary is an opportunity for aspiring foreign correspondents to receive a grant of £6,000 to spend six weeks abroad, researching and reporting on a foreign news story for us Learn more here:

Thinking of industry colleagues caught up in this today. Sad news. Every time you read a listicle on the website of a traditional newspaper remember it was a pretty radical format once.

When the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed 10 years ago in Bangladesh killing more than 1,100 workers, it seemed the fashion industry would see a change in its treatment of low-wage workers. It didn't. @livrockeman explains https://t.co/G7UHdyvrpS

Super sad news. But I could not be prouder of Liv and the other founders, plus Charlie, Kemi, and all of those involved for having the cajones to do something this ambitious at such a young age and then execute with such aplomb. My Gal Dem hard copies will be treasured ❤️
We are incredibly sad to announce that gal-dem is closing. Several factors that have contributed to this difficult decision, including numerous challenges with running a small, mission-driven, independent media company. We’ve shared more here
