On today's Data Journalism Podcast, @kleinmatic shared our research into the collapse of newsroom activity on GitHub with @smfrogers and Alberto Cairo. It ain't pretty. I've attached a chart with the latest data. Tune in to hear what they make of it. https://t.co/4DiAompxc6

While Maricopa County counts the vast majority of legal ballots by the end of Election Night, it’s often days before media can call certain races. Why is that? In Arizona, there are two main factors: state election laws and narrow margins of victory.🧵

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’ ‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’ ‘Gandalf!’ ‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’

“The Yankees & Dodgers buy wins” Pirates fans are already mentally preparing to lose Paul Skenes, and he’s a ROOKIE Cleveland’s owner is the 5th richest in MLB, yet has spent $54,000,000 total on Free Agents… since 2020 Can we be mad at bad owners, instead of good ones?

Juan Soto has the greatest plate approach and plate discipline I’ve ever seen in a hitter. That is one of the greatest at bats I’ve ever witnessed. He fought off so many off speed pitches in a huge moment to hunt a fastball. Then he crushed it. Unbelievable given the context.

"Print coverage" and "front page articles" are not meaningful measurements of coverage priority anymore, and don't even mean the same thing they meant in 2016.
The blue bars are articles mentioning Hillary Clinton's email server in the week after the Oct. 2016 Comey letter. The red bars are articles mentioning Trump's Jan. 6 indictment the week after Jack Smith's latest filing was unsealed earlier this month.

Feel like you don’t understand the Adams indictment, or that you missed a detail? Alyssa’s got you covered.
The meaning of the $10 million federal case against Eric Adams, by me. The Turkey money is just one part of an aggressive assault against NYC's democracy-building campaign finance system.

All the players blocked from the Hall of Fame — Pete Rose, Mark McGwire, and especially Barry Bonds — should be in the Hall of Fame.

I’ve been conjecturing for a few years that the “new Moneyball” involves teams trying to save money by winning only enough games to avoid the first playoff round.
Yankees are the top seed in the AL. But just to zoom out for a second: The top seed in the American League needed to only win 93 games this season. Now who could have predicted THAT!?

I've seen a lot of misunderstanding about this, and similar claims in other states. This is normal list maintenance, conducted over nearly 2 years. This is mostly removal of inactive records, not voters who still live in NC. This is the number we'd expect, reflecting people who
North Carolina removes 747,000 from voter rolls, citing ineligibility
