So: (From my essay.) "The modal 25-year-old journalist was no longer a cub reporter covering and being accountable to the local community he or she lived among, but rather a graduate school grad lobbing insults at distant political figures from the relative safety of Brooklyn. As

The @SF_PressClub just awarded its first-ever Courage in Journalism Award to @marielgarzaLAT, the editorials editor who last week resigned from @latimes to protest the nixing of its planned presidential endorsement. https://t.co/UQsNHOblyl

Had to pull on the spirit of Fernando to beat them Stankees yesterday!

I am one of the three members of the LA Times editorial board who resigned over the owner's craven decision not to endorse. Here is my column in the Hollywood Reporter about why this was different from an ordinary disagreement between board and owner.

SHE IS ... GONE!! 1988 meets 2024 Absolute chills

Big Latino news from the Harris-Walz campaign: Maná and Los Tigres Del Norte will join VP @KamalaHarris at separate rallies in Las Vegas and Phoenix on Oct. 31. Both bands are expected to perform. https://t.co/pEfYQTJDa0

“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not OK with us being silent,” Mariel Garza said. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.” https://t.co/NgE337HIsx

@OrtizKicks We, of course, would ask him, “Can you hear the drums, Fernando?” and he’d just roll his eyes. After he joined the Spanish-language broadcast team, it was always a good day seeing him in the press box when the Dodgers were in town. 9/10

A 🧵on Fernando Valenzuela (🙏). If you were alive in 1981, you'll never forget "Fernandomania." It was long before the Internet and it was wonderful. SI, The Sporting News & Sport Magazine were all over it. The Dodgers were on TV a lot that summer. 1/10

Greatly saddened by the too-soon passing of #FernandoValenzuela. As a Mexican-American kid and #Dodgers fan, I was among the millions inspired and thrilled by his magic in the 1981 season. QEPD. ¡Y que viva, Fernando! He was the rare Mexican hero seen in mass media. Go, Dodgers!

Begging people asking for where the news is on any situation to google the local newspaper for the area. @asheville is Asheville @theobserver is Charlotte @newsobserver is Raleigh @knoxnews is Knoxville Support local news

“These daughters and granddaughters of immigrants are combining the extraordinary and selfless work ethic of their elders with rapid growth of human capital,” Hayes Bautista said.

As a writer and film-lover, I'm stunned to NOT have seen most of these films - to NOT have known about them, or read about them when they were released. What does that say about access and marketing? I'm bookmarking this thread. I've got homework to do.

Years ago, at @YaleThread, I saw presentation of NYT's award-winning "Snowfall." At the first scroll, the room of storytellers let out an audible gasp - the innovation was so new to us. Today, I marvel at this piece in today's @nytimes. Wow.
