We are horrified by this brutal attack. Elena Milashina of @novaya_gazeta is part of our @UMWallaceHouse family. She is a dear friend. When you break a journalist’s fingers, the message is meant to silence all journalists. We will not be silent. Elena, we are here.
Elena Milashina is one of us. She is among the bravest of journalists. She is a friend and beloved colleague. This vicious attack must rally us all. As our dear Elana would tell us, there is work to do. @umichWCED @umichigannews

The Capitol Police has been rejecting officer applicants after pre-employment psychological evaluations at a rate three times the national average. Excellent reporting by @ChrisMarquette_
The inspector general found that the department stuck with the Global Consortium contract for pre-employment psychological evaluations despite the 2019 findings, and the Capitol Police failed 1,574 of 3,263 applicants during the fiscal years reviewed.

Tune in now to hear from @jelani9 and @fordschool interim dean @watkinshayes as they discuss threats to democracy and its historical context, the ways in which we discuss democracy, ways to address anxiety and fear and more. @michiganalumni @detroitpublictv @pbsbooks

This kind of thing happens at every level of journalism, and it's not right. Now that I'm on "the other side," I frequently see scoops get repurposed without credit, and I get frustrated for the reporter. Giving credit where it's due is free.
Every day on TV I recognize the good work of the people at the @nytimes. Is it too much to ask that they do the same?

My last freelance project from before the @UMWallaceHouse fellowship began: a look at voter disenfranchisement across the U.S. from @publicintegrity:
publicintegrity.org
