Way to go #TeamRedding. Placed twice in in-depth reporting including a collab with @VTDNews, with the work of Michele Chandler, @nadaatieh_RS and Kristan Obeng leading the way.

I wrote about myself and how $88,000 in mainly private student loans has made reporting unaffordable. This piece closes a chapter for me and journalism for a while. And though it's not the way I expected to end my run, I'm grateful for the journey. mlk50.com/2022/06/13/loa…

For those of you thinking of leaving Twitter, a subscription to your local print or digital newspaper would be a great way to satisfy your thirst for information, and you could help democracy in the process. Just a thought…

Due to systemic bias in the reporting, I would be worth 11 articles if I went missing. Learn your press value and join the fight for coverage equality, because #EveryoneIsPressworthy areyoupressworthy.com/22_8
