After months of declining follower counts, some state-affiliated media outlets on Twitter started to gain more followers, all around the same date. Here's the sudden shift of an account from Russia's RT, beginning a period of follower growth March 28 and onwards:

My neighbor pumping Marvin Gaye on the stereo while doing yard work is giving me life today.

Let's Get It On ... in court. A case involving one of the most famous Marvin Gaye jams of all time goes to trial today. The Indicator, we break down how these musical disputes get decided and why the outcome should matter to music lovers everywhere. npr.org/2023/04/20/117…

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one. Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce. I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting. But this time, alone.

It's Influencer Week at The Indicator! Thanks to Emily Hund for coming on the show to talk about her book. Now I'm off to write off this Versed headband dupe as a business expense! npr.org/2023/04/17/117…

Thanks for taking the time to write this. You likely meant to say “irrelevant,” but “irreverent” comes across as a compliment. Have a great weekend.

🎙️(tap tap is this thing on?) it's true. today is my last day at NPR as a full-time employee. i was affected by the layoffs. i was cut from NPR's Code Switch, since Jan I've been on NPR's Planet Money team in an acting prod. role. now: a thread of the stuff at NPR i am proud of 🧵

Had such a blast going on ICYMI_pod with Darian Woods and Adrian Ma to chat about The Indicator's influencers series. Thanks to Rachelle D'nae and the show's ace producers for the conversation! slate.com/podcasts/icymi…

A group of incredibly talented Gimlet staffers were laid off today - producers, reporters, editors, engineers, and more. If you have any work for them or need help making a podcast or audio project, please reach out and let me connect you with the right person!

This is alarming on so many levels. So much respect for the brave Lauren Chooljian nytimes.com/2023/06/06/bus…

How will SCOTUS's decision today affect students, schools, the economy? For clues, you can look at California's 25-old-ban on affirmative action. npr.org/2023/06/08/118…

New: for pt 2 in my inequality series for The New York Times, i dug into a deeply painful paradox: if we've truly had 2 jobs for every 1 unemployed person, how is it that ~60% of all those leaving prison are unemployed (*seeking and not finding work*) a year later? nytimes.com/2023/07/06/bus…

Great story that adds complexity to the overall narrative that the labor market is tight.

1/ it's an awful day at WNYC, my work home for 20 yrs lots of talent cut esp at WNYC Studios, which is (was) the place to develop new podcasts and talent

Ya know when you're on a plane and it just keeps circling the airport instead of landing? Feels like an apt metaphor for the economy this week. Talked on the show with Julia Pollak and Matthew C. Klein on what to make of it. npr.org/2024/08/05/119…

I was kinda hoping that the way FRED charts are created resembles a seen out of Minority Report. nytimes.com/2024/12/06/bus…

returning to this site to share some sad news, which is that Vox laid me off last week. I loved my work as the editor of Today, Explained, which remains the best daily news show in the world. I already miss that team a lot.
