The First Amendment doesn't guarantee officials a flattering record. It guarantees the public an honest one. @rtdna.bsky.social stands with the photojournalists barred from Secretary Hegseth's press events.

Really looking forward to speaking at @ire.org's NICAR Conference next month. We'll be talking about better teams (my favorite) and generally working better with other humans (necessary, IMO).

πŸ‘― Relationships are the most important piece

Will I see you there?

πŸŽ™οΈ New episode out!
January gets sold as a β€œfresh start,” but for many leaders it feels heavy. In Episode 3 of the Leadership Wellbeing Series, we talk honestly about mental health, stigma, and leading without performative vulnerability.

Journalism is not a crime. Journalism, and journalists, must be protected as they seek and report the truth.

πŸ“’ Yesterday, @rtdna.bsky.social & 31 other organizations condemned the government’s invasive raid on a Washington Post reporter’s home and seizure of materials. This is an attack on transparency & the public’s right to know.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of working with 10 talented student #journalists from around the state of #Indiana. They had a quick deadline, in-the-trenches competition and their work gave me hope for the future. Check their work out here --> indypressfoundation.org/keating-comp...

BREAKING: The D.C. Court of Appeals has rejected award-winning journalist Catherine Herridge's bid to protect her sources via reporter's privilege.

This is a significant blow to press freedom for all journalists.

Excited to talk about how strategic boards drive revenue at the upcoming PAR conference in November. Associations can't afford to not be ready for change (what change?) and positioned to build on opportunity.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is holding one of its regular board meetings – under highly irregular circumstances. Last month the White House said Trump had fired three of the five people on the CPB board. But this is not The Apprentice, where the words "you're fired" have magical power. 🧡
