I’m so shocked and saddened by this news. Marshall was such a light, and I will miss him.

This is just awful — so sorry for everyone affected & for the rest of us, too, who will be missing out on what was really great work

So proud of you @vladduthiersCBS & so glad that your wonderful colleagues & many viewers see what I see & love about you — your insatiable curiosity, serious work ethic, generosity of spirit, & big heart

The first time I encountered people selling blood plasma was when I did an internship in Fargo, North Dakota — it was some of my colleagues, working at the TV station. For some reason I still decided to go into news.

This is my life rn except also with serialized podcasts & audiobooks

Last year we began investigating a shoe recycling project run by Dow and the Singapore government. We discovered that shoes they said would be turned into jogging tracks were exported to Indonesia. 🧵TV/story 👇@specialreports

What @vladduthiersCBS said! (Typing this one-handed w little human attached…) she’s a lucky girl to be cheered on by so many. Thank you for all the warm wishes & well, here we go! 🤞

Ok all she wanted was a little extension, a reasonable request

Just hit week 40 & all I ask is for this child of journalists to learn to respect deadlines!!!
