Just had an experience that unfortunately has happened before: I attended a press conference for an organization presenting important data and stories for our community and policy makers and I was the only reporter in attendance. Another example of the importance of public radio
case in point
So did nobody at wapo consider the option of getting rid of will lewis first before firing 300 journalists?

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
Perhaps a G rated version of the @thepressbox.bsky.social (@bryancurtis.bsky.social) Media Piss Test™?

I almost went to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. I was creating my masters thesis podcast and first heard about it in early December 2020. I planned to bring my recording gear and get tape and everything. But in late December, I decided not to go. Can't decide whether I made the right choice
Only in sports journalism perhaps. And is it "shattering" a record if you exceeded the previous record by 1/2 a sack? @thepressbox.bsky.social @bryancurtis.bsky.social

"In rural communities, and in some subspecialties of medicine, the reliance on immigrant physicians runs much higher. In primary care and specialties like oncology, for example, foreign-born doctors account for about half of the workforce." www.npr.org/sections/sho...
In the proclamation, Gov. Sanders described the court orders as unlawful eight different times. Ozarks at Large asked the governor's office why they are complying with the court order if they believe it is unlawful. Her office did not respond to our request for comment.

Local radio reporting isn't free to make. But we give it to you for free. That counterintuitive model doesn't make business sense, but it's core to our mission that good local journalism should be accessible to everyone, even if you can't afford to pay for it. Support public media today.

Honored to have received my button from @thepressbox.bsky.social. Can we also take note of the amazing handwriting of @bryancurtis.bsky.social? Excited to put this on my radio kit bag and show it off!
Today is a good day to support your public radio station. www.npr.org/2025/06/12/g...
