Getting Started

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

Loved this piece from @nicoleclark.bsky.social, which starts off with a simple New Year's resolution, then becomes a poetic musing on dealing with chronic pain and self-limiting expectations, and on why it's important to get outdoors. Also: A picture of a squirrel on a squirrel-sized picnic table.

I wrote an op-ed for the NYT about what reporting on long COVID has meant to me—how I approached it, the impact it had, and how it taught me to be a better journalist. This piece is sort of a manifesto for a journalism grounded in compassion, rigor, and care. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/o...
