- I’m tired of surviving things.After almost a decade without a polio case in the US, there is increasing evidence of local spread in NY after today's announcement that poliovirus has been found in New York City sewage.🧵👇
- Seriously? We publish COVID news every single day. Being a journalist in 2020 is hard enough without us attacking each other.

00:00 - Family Research Council says it’s a church, and gets the tax-exempt status of one. But when a ProPublica reporter called to inquire about service times, a staffer who answered the phone responded, “We don’t have church service.” 🤔 propublica.org/article/family…
- In which @propublica provides a moment of reflection for a property manager using software to push tenants out and raise rents: propublica.org/article/yields…
- there is something very magical about reporting that leads to changes before the story is published
- Some professional news: I'm joining @mirrorindy as a data reporter. My work will be part explanatory, part accountability, all for Indianapolis. Email me your questions, concerns and story ideas: [email protected].
