Thrilled to announce that I'm a newly minted, accredited Solutions Journalism trainer! Thanks, @debofficially, for inviting me to collaborate on a recent @Medill Midwest @soljourno Hub training, too! #collaboration #journalism #Appreciation

More wisdom from the amazing Voter Registration Geniuses @ColumbiaChi published in the @CCChronicle . I am so fortunate to work with these remarkable young people.

My @ColumbiaChiComm Intro to Journalism students got published again today in @chicagotalksccc -- congrats to all of them!

Such fun talking with @FrancineHuff and two of my @ColumbiaChi @CivicMediaMA students about their award-winning @soljourno stories on Facebook live this afternoon. But apparently, not embeddable on Twitter. Check out

So great when an alum comes back to lead a workshop for our students and faculty @ColumAlum @ColumbiaChiComm thanks, @veelharrison

Good story by @kamy_smelser in the @CCChronicle about @ColumbiaChi making the "honor roll" of best colleges for student voting, thanks to Columbia Votes!

Oh my goodness watch this

Excellent piece by my colleague @jackiespinner:

A great day geeking out about magazines at the international @MappingTheMag conference today with these stellar people. Thank you to @DrakeUniversity for hosting. More tomorrow! #magazine

I love this piece about news avoidance and the need for journalists to provide audiences with more hope, agency and dignity.

"Although some materials can be effectively recycled and safely made from recycled content, plastics cannot. Plastic recycling does not work and will never work."

YES!, a terrific @soljourno magazine, is looking for a new Executive Editor -- someone to champion "the power and promise of community-led solutions to society’s most challenging problems." This is an amazing opportunity! https://t.co/WJCAw7Kjlf.

Thanks to @mspreciousdavis for speaking to my Defending Democracy class @ColumbiaChi today about the important work of the @MWRDGC and her campaign for commissioner @PreciousforMWRD Learning about down-ballot races is important.

@columbia_votes is here at the University Center @ColumbiaChi registering students to vote.

How to excite students about live tweeting? Invite one of the @CHIDocumenters to talk about their work. Thank you, @annabelrocha93, for sharing your career path and live tweeting strategies with my Reporting 1 class @ColumbiaChiComm @ColumbiaChi!

Students in my Defending Democracy class @ColumbiaChi have learned a lot about the struggle over voting rights, so it was great to have them meet a candidate running for office--in our district! Thanks, @KinaCollinsIL, for shredding the myth that "all politicians are alike."

All set up for an Intermission pop up for Columbia Votes @ColumbiaChi performance of Hortensia. See a play; register to vote!

Thanks to Brian Simmons and Rita Carmona of @ChicagoVotes for speaking to my Defending Democracy class @ColumbiaChi today about their work uplifting young voices and votes, and #votinginprison #unlockcivics.
