Excited to share that I was also nominated in three other categories, including for a video I produced with @tianarochon for the Globe's busing crisis project, and @RandyVMedia's inspiring documentary Three Kings, which I helped edit and produce motion graphics for.

From @GlobeSpotlight, a new investigative podcast that dives into the secrecy — and abuses — of policing’s informant system w/ reporting by @duganarnett & @GlobeAndrewRyan Check out the video podcast here:
Our new podcast begins on the docks of a Massachusetts city. It involves a rogue cop. A demand for drugs. A phrase he'd used again and again: “confidential informant.” This secretive system in policing has a dark underside. We found it in New Bedford. https://t.co/RxMyqP5T28

Coming soon: Snitch City. Nearly every drug investigation in America is based on a confidential informant. Yet the CI system is deeply flawed. Injustices have occurred when no one’s watching. Our new investigative podcast exposes the secretive world: https://t.co/6NTNNJUtwz

“It’s a hard reality, a tough pill to swallow, just stupid,” Parker Tirrell told @BostonGlobe a few hours after being notified she's no longer eligible for her soccer team.
NEW: Citing a new law that Governor Chris Sununu signed last month to bar transgender girls from girl's school sports, a N.H. superintendent notified Parker Tirrell, 15, that she won't be allowed to join her teammates for soccer practice this Monday. https://t.co/87gK5vMrbN

In January, the closure of yet another Roxbury pharmacy sparked fears that more and more residents would go without easy access to prescriptions and basic medical care. We wanted to know if that was true — if “pharmacy deserts” were expanding in Boston 🧵
