Karen Attiah / Washington Post: Nikole Hannah-Jones just dunked on UNC. But for Black journalists and educators, the game is still rigged.
@joekillianpw: In our interview, Hannah-Jones made it clear: The silence and lack of transparency from school leadership - particularly Guskiewicz - made taking another offer inevitable. They could have prevented this, had they put in the work. The more you sweat, the less you bleed.

@joekillianpw: In the end, she got what most faculty, staff and alumni agreed she deserved: a public, up or down vote on whether she should, like all her white Knight Chair predecessors, be offered tenure. That she won't be accepting the offer says more about UNC than it does her.

Symone D. Sanders / @symonedsanders: Read the full statement. @nhannahjones didn't have to share her story, but because she did so many Black girls (myself included) stood a whole lot taller today.

David Beard / @dabeard: “At one school the dean said to me, 'We'll offer you tenure and respect.'” - @nhannahjones https://www.ncpolicywatch.com/ ... @JoekillianPW
@joekillianpw: The Black, Latinx, Asian, Native and queer press? They've never had the luxury of thinking if they just aim themselves as strenuously at the middle of the road as they can manage and project absolute objectivity, their journalism would reach its best and highest purpose.
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: This interview with Walter Hussman Jr. says that after his gift to UNC he began talking to leading executives and journalism educators about his ideas. At one point he was going to challenge me to a debate about objectivity. https://www.poynter.org/... First I am hearing of it.
Veni Kunche / @venikunche: “I won that battle. But it's not my job to heal the University of North Carolina,” Hannah-Jones said. “That's the job of the people in power who created this situation in the first place.” https://www.newsobserver.com/ ...

@nixonron: Somewhere Ida B Wells is smiling. The words “game changer” get tossed around a lot. But the decision by @nhannahjones to take her talents and $20 million to @HowardUniv is a game-changer in every sense. And add to that Ta-Nehisi Coates is joining her. https://www.macfound.org/...
John Robinson / @johnrobinson: I love this by @nhannahjones.

@joekillianpw: Here's what I think: In order to have these breathless, pearl-clutching conversations about the failures of today's journalism and the downfall of objectivity you have to completely ignore *a lot* of journalism history.

@joekillianpw: Are there conversations to be had about the failures of today's journalism? Of course. Don't get me started. But let's have *those* conversations. Let's not remake conversations we've been having since the advent of journalism, cast with younger and hotter actors.

@juliancastro: Happy to see to see this decision from @nhannahjones. @UNC leadership demonstrated cowardice in bowing to manufactured conservative outrage. She's an extraordinarily talented journalist who deserved much better from the university. Definitely @HowardU's gain. https://twitter.com/...
Mary L Trump / @maryltrump: “I have decided that instead of fighting to prove I belong at an institution that until 1955 prohibited Black Americans from attending, I am instead going to work in the legacy of a university not built by the enslaved but for those who once were.” This is how it's done.🔥 https://twitter.com/...

A look at the increased competition in weather reporting, with Fox poaching Weather Channel talent in the lead up to the launch of streaming channel Fox Weather — As viewers tune out cable news, Rupert Murdoch is preparing the debut of Fox Weather, a potentially powerful new player in a sphere long dominated by the Weather Channel.

Discussion:
Matthew Cantor / The Guardian: Cloudy with a chance of outrage: Fox prepares to launch a weather channel
Alex Weprin / @alexweprin: The question I have for the new weather ventures: TV news adapted to the internet by having their shows talk about the news with opinionated programming. Getting the weather forecast will aways be easier and faster in an app, so what will the TV talent talk about all day?
David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: Ex Murdoch exec: “Over the past nine months I have tried, with increasing bluntness, to get Rupert to understand the real damage that Fox News is doing to America. I failed.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Drew Olanoff / @yoda: it's for people who are in denial about climate change. every location every single day will be clear and 70 degrees. https://twitter.com/...
Heath Mayo / @heathmayo: To combat the fake weather news: “Rain got you down? Come to Fox News Weather, where we'll tell you it's always sunny and that it only rains in blue states.” https://twitter.com/...
Evan Weber / @evanlweber: Fox News is probably more responsible for the climate crisis than any other institution outside of the fossil fuel industry (and honestly that's a close call). The last thing we need is them starting “weather channel” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Emily Atkin / @emorwee: Anyway, really looking forward to Fox's new weather channel! https://www.nytimes.com/...
Ishaan Tharoor / @ishaantharoor: Some good jokes in the responses, the best one being it should be called Stormfront. https://twitter.com/...
Barbara Malmet / @b52malmet: Rupert will weaponize the weather. Watch for it. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Gleick / @petergleick: First Fox News endangers the health of their audience by misleading about vaccines. Now they're likely to produce weather forecasts that mislead about the risks of climate change. Fox News is bad for your health. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Sammy Roth / @sammy_roth: Fox is launching a 24/7 weather station. Stating the obvious, but this does not bode great for public understanding of the climate crisis. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Shea Serrano / @sheaserrano: “it's raining again today and our meteorologists are saying that it's because god is crying because mexicans have stolen more jobs from the american heartland” https://twitter.com/...
Eric Holthaus / @ericholthaus: Hot take: I honestly couldn't care less about Fox Weather. The folks who are going to be interested in Fox Weather aren't the folks who are forward-thinking in a rapidly warming world. That's the reason we're making @currently —a weather service built for the climate emergency. https://twitter.com/...
Eric Holthaus / @ericholthaus: To be relevant in 2021, coverage of weather and climate has to be grounded in truth. It has to be trustworthy. It has to be personal. It has to meet people where they are. The main truth of our time is the climate emergency & that we need systemic change to thrive this century.
Eric Holthaus / @ericholthaus: Any media service — especially a weather service — not grounded in that truth is not going to do well. Viewers are smart. We know when we're being lied to, we know when key facts are missing. That's why leading with climate is the only way weather coverage is going to work.

Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: Good q ahead of Fox Weather launch: “How do you address the fact that weather changes are caused to some degree by humans when you have a media property with a history of challenging that fact?” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Charlie Warzel / @cwarzel: without being alarmist, i find this pretty concerning. but it makes sense that reporting the weather during a climate emergency will become the next cable news war over reality. seems bad! https://www.nytimes.com/...

Eric Klinenberg / @ericklinenberg: Weather is political and this is dangerous. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Catherine Rampell / @crampell: finally, a weather channel that tells you the forecast you want to hear https://twitter.com/...
Eli Yokley / @eyokley: “The weather media ecosystem... is a lucrative, if often overlooked, corner of the industry... Advertisers weary of the choppy politics and brand boycotts of the Trump years see weather as a relatively uncontroversial port in the squall.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
John Schwartz / @jswatz: “How do you address the fact that weather changes are caused to some degree by humans when you have a media property with a history of challenging that fact?” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Bob Cronin / Newser: Fox Decides Weather Is the New Politics
Jesse Pesta / @jessepesta: “She called climate change “a topic that is too important to politicize, and if they do that ...'” That's an executive from the Weather Channel (and former Fox News employee) on Fox's plan to start its own weather service. By @grynbaum https://www.nytimes.com/...

Dinesh D'Souza / @dineshdsouza: This is laugh-out-loud funny. ‘So, So Angry’: Reporters Who Survived the Capitol Riot Are Still Struggling https://www.vice.com/...
Leah Millis / @leahmillis: I was standing on the center inauguration scaffolding after having scaled it to get a better view of the center door. I had heard people chanting “heave-ho!” &thought they were breaking into the hallway. I had no idea the building had been breached because we had no cell service.
Allison Pecorin / @allisonmpecorin: Please remember, every reporter who was there believed sacrificing their safety was worth it for you to see what was happening to your country. Those of us that continue to come back to the site of our trauma are driven by that belief. https://www.vice.com/... via @vicenews
Tiffany Aldinger / @tiffanyaldinger: @ggreenwald Tell me you haven't read the article without telling me you haven't read the article. https://twitter.com/...
Leah Millis / @leahmillis: When I reached that level I started receiving text messages. A friend sent me a photo of her TV screen and that's when I found out they had gotten in.
Shawna Thomas / @shawna: This was hard for me to read but I'm glad @cam_joseph wrote it and that some of the reporters, who I've watched and learned from, talked to him. https://twitter.com/...
Haley Talbot / @haleytalbotnbc: Very small portion of my video from inside Chamber 2:43PM on Jan 6 but I think it's important people understand what it was actually like that day. - glass to chamber doors shatter from rioters - officers + lawmakers barricade doors - loud gun shot - lawmakers audibly praying https://twitter.com/...
Ginger Gibson / @gingergibson: It's important for journalists to talk about what happened inside the Capitol on Jan 6. Unsurprisingly, because of this, today my mentions have been a stream of vitriol and insults. But that's why we must continue to talk about what happened. https://twitter.com/...
Jonathan Tamari / @jonathantamari: awhile back there was a training for responding to emergencies - incl. how to use escape hoods. When you open them, there's a loud buzz everyone remembers from that day. Even in the calm of the training, months after 1/6, I remember a colleague leaping at the sound again https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: “all of the reporters interviewed for this story are worried that the riots won't be a one-off attack. 'It definitely could happen again. It's something that's on my radar. We've become very complacent in thinking the U.S. is different.'” #jan6 https://twitter.com/...
Luke Zaleski / @zaleskiluke: What did trump call reporters again? For years? Before this attack on us?? https://twitter.com/...
Melissa Ryan / @melissaryan: The Hill also a toxic workplace for reporters. And as this piece from @cam_joseph points out, many of them are not OK. https://www.vice.com/...
Rachel Scott / @rachelvscott: So much of this- Jan. 6 was my first day covering the Hill as the incoming Congressional Correspondent Every day I enter the Capitol, I walk by the same location where I saw a woman— shot, bloodied on a gurney staring at the Capitol she broke into. https://twitter.com/...
Cameron Joseph / @cam_joseph: I felt genuine empathy when Glenn wrote about the home invasion his family survived, in spite of my issues with some of his other reporting. It says something about him that he can't extend the same to the reporters in the Hill that day. https://twitter.com/...
Jake Zuckerman / @jake_zuckerman: I really can't imagine dealing with the trauma of surviving Jan. 6 as a reporter, and then going back to work in a political system where congressmen repeat the lie that sparked the insurrection and reduce what happened to a “tourist visit” https://www.vice.com/...
Frank Thorp V / @frankthorp: As someone who has sought therapy to help process the trauma from Jan 6th, this is an important piece about the lingering effects that day has had on a Congressional press corps that continues to go to the site of their trauma to do their jobs: https://www.vice.com/...

Jesse Rodriguez / @jesserodriguez: Harrowing quotes from @GingerGibson in this piece about 1/6 https://www.vice.com/...
Barbara Comstock / @barbaracomstock: Good and needed reporting on the continued fallout from Jan. 6 for so many who were there that day @cam_joseph https://twitter.com/...
Joan McCarter / @joanmccarter: Fantasitic reporting in this story, but a bizarre disconnect. So much of the reporting from D.C. and the Capitol doesn't reflect any of this, any of what happened on January 6. It's back to normal in how they report on the GOP. That's got to change if there's to be a reckoning. https://twitter.com/...
David Pepper / @davidpepper: I still think about the reporters I saw covering it live. @LisaDNews , in particular, was incredible. Only became more clear later how much danger she and others were in. https://twitter.com/...
Lara Hartzenbusch / @lhartzenbusch: '"That was the thing that surprised me most of the entire day: They'd just gone through this, and they were still fucking objecting.I was shocked at that vote.

Rep. Cheri Bustos / @repcheri: Six months ago today, the Capitol was attacked, offices were ransacked & “murder the media” was carved into doors. In the face of danger, journalists like @kasie stayed to document history. We owe them our thanks. https://www.today.com/...
Leah Millis / @leahmillis: Immediately I texted my friend who was inside to see if she was ok. “Yeah, I got attacked.” Was all she said.

Deirdre Walsh / @deirdrekwalsh: Seems like so much longer than 6 months ago - working remotely I worried about the press corps on 1/6 - a collegial and hardworking crew on the Hill. This story shows how the day still impacts Hill reporters - thanks to all for continuing to do the work and tell the stories https://twitter.com/...
Michael Learmonth / @learmonth: Reporters covering Congress inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 experienced extensive workplace trauma. Some won't go back into the building, @cam_joseph reports. https://www.vice.com/...
Grace Segers / @grace_segers: I can only speak for myself, but I know that what happened on January 6 will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Grace Segers / @grace_segers: When I'm at the Capitol, memories of 1/6 overlap the present like tracing paper. I don't just see a stairwell, I see Officer Goodman redirecting rioters. I hear echoes of shouts, ghosts of broken glass. I don't just see the rotunda, I see screaming rioters violating that space.
Grace Segers / @grace_segers: Six months ago today, a violent mob of Trump supporters overran the Capitol in a deadly attack, spurred by a lie that continues to be repeated. They sought to overturn election results and harm lawmakers. The attack changed politics. It changed the country. It changed me.
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: I wish I'd thought to write this story by @cam_joseph. Don't miss it: https://twitter.com/...
Christopher Ingraham / @_cingraham: It would be nice if more coverage of Congress reflected this when reporters are confident that lawmakers are lying. Too often the wink and nod gets passed directly on to readers. https://twitter.com/...
Cameron Joseph / @cam_joseph: Six months after the Capitol insurrection, reporters are grappling with the fallout. I talked to five of the best Hill reporters I know — @bresreports, @LisaDNews, @GingerGibson, @elwasson and @MattLaslo — about their experiences that day, and after. https://www.vice.com/...
Mike DeBonis / @mikedebonis: Tremendous work by Cam and bracing honesty from @bresreports @LisaDNews @elwasson @GingerGibson @MattLaslo https://twitter.com/...
Garrett Haake / @garretthaake: Six months later. Don't tell me it was a normal tourist day on the Hill, or even a typical protest. https://twitter.com/...
David Corn / @davidcorndc: With GOPers denying the gravity and significance of 1/6, it's no surprise that the reporters who covered it feel weird and gaslighted. https://twitter.com/...
Ryan J. Reilly / @ryanjreilly: “We're so used to it, the wink and nod lie, you're talking to a member and they lie to you and we just move on. Now it's all changed... We cannot fail to call it what it was. It was an insurrection. They tried to destroy democracy.” - @bresreports https://www.vice.com/...
Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester / @replbr: It's so important to remember that those reporters who brought us real-time information about January 6th were, themselves, victims of that awful day. I was stuck in the balcony with so many of them that day. We need to hear their stories as well. https://twitter.com/...
Tal Kopan / @talkopan: “But sometimes It feels like one of those horror movies, like the end of ‘Jaws.’ Everything feels copacetic on the beach. But you wonder if there's anything out there,” @elwasson said. There is still so much lingering trauma from Jan. 6, and it's so important to remember. https://twitter.com/...

Kristen Chick / @kristenchick: Colleagues and freelancers complained for years of abusive behavior by @nytimes international picture editor David Furst. So his quiet exit brought relief—but also anger the paper took so long to take action. I spoke to 39 people for my latest in @CJR https://www.cjr.org/...
Kari Cobham / @kariwrites: “I realize this is what it takes to be a freelancer, you just keep going and keep your mouth shut.” When you're a freelancer working with an awful editor, dependent on them for income/assignments, responsiveness + fair editing there's often zero recourse. https://www.cjr.org/...
Joshua Hunt / @viajoshhunt: This @CJR story about an abusive photo editor at the Times is absolutely infuriating. Reading about how he treated freelancers filled me with such dread and anxiety that I had to step away from it for a bit. https://www.cjr.org/...
Anna Phillips / @annamphillips: A really well-reported story on the abuse freelance photographers took for years from the NYT's international picture editor. https://twitter.com/...

Cameron Pollack / @kcallop: Phenomenal reporting by @kristenchick as always. This reads like a masterclass in how not to be a photo editor. And if you are a photo editor, PLEASE fix the dynamics between you, your colleagues and your freelancers. https://twitter.com/...
Rob Pegoraro / @robpegoraro: Newspapers have a bad habit of putting journalists in management roles who may be individually brilliant but have the people skills of a drawer full of rusty tools - but this guy seems to have taken control-freakery to a misanthropic level. https://www.cjr.org/...
Girish Gupta / @jammastergirish: Great to see this being covered. This sort of attitude from many editors is why so many good people leave journalism. Let's not pretend it's rare, though. https://twitter.com/...
Taylor Moore / @taylormooresays: Every paragraph of this investigation is brutal, but this part got me. When will we stop allowing “brilliant” men to be abusive in the workplace? https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@ajchavar: Years ago, I reported out almost this exact same storyline — except it was with a different editor at a different landmark journalistic institution. And sadly, they're not the only ones. @kristenchick's reporting on Furst and NYT is vital, and must-read: https://www.cjr.org/...
Andrew Beaujon / @abeaujon: Shocking stuff about an apparent petty tyrant who thrived in photojournalism https://twitter.com/...
Anna Clark / @annaleighclark: This story showcases the particular vulnerability of freelancers, even at (especially at) prestige outlets.

Josie Ensor / @josiensor: “One photographer who has worked for the @nytimes for a decade says David Furst asked her in 2015 whether she planned to have children. She still does not have children, and while Furst is not the only reason, he's a large part of it, she says” https://www.cjr.org/...

Dene-Hern Chen / @denechen: An important thing to remember when reading this is that it took a decade of his actions being “normal” and well-known before this was published. Newsroom leaders would do well to reflect on what headlines might look like for them — & their outlets — in the future. #journalism https://twitter.com/...
Lulu / @lourdesgnavarro: I'm incredibly proud of my friend Andrea Bruce for going on the record about what so many have said privately. Photojournalism is an incredibly hard profession — which relies on the goodwill and support of editors, especially if you are a freelancer. https://twitter.com/...
Hannah Yoon / @hanloveyoon: Where can freelancers go when they have concerns of abuse? It's always an unsettling place to be in. If folks speak out or if I share this article, will this make me less desirable to the Times editors? There's no guarantee of anything https://twitter.com/...
Jane Hahn / @janehahnphoto: These are the men this industry has entrusted to shape the way we see the world.

Mitchell Prothero / @mitchprothero: great job on a painful story and shout out to andrea and benedict for having the courage to go on the record about being treated like crap as freelancers. the clout of NYT photo is exaggerated because there's so few outlets left to work for but it is indeed very real. https://twitter.com/...
