Over the moon to be honored by @opcofamerica with the Roy Rowan award for work w @AP and @frontlinepbs. The database part would've been impossible without @mbieseck,@beatrice_dupuy, @helenwieffering, @rplardner, @seldeeb and @jhdearan. @Ekinetz /Tom Jennings led the way on film.

Journalists have always been on the front lines of the struggle for democracy. That’s why we need to keep standing up for the rights of journalists around the world. Grateful that we have @ColumbiaJourn and people like Jelani Cobb taking on this important work.
This World Press Freedom Day, take a look at @BarackObama's remarks at the @ColumbiaJourn Faultlines: Democracy conference, and why the free press is vital for democracy to survive and thrive.

Officials are investigating the death of a 25-year-old cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., the third cadet from the institute to die this year. @WyattwOlson reports.

I can't think of anything more fitting on #WorldPressFreedomDay than advocating for my WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained. We stand with Evan today and every day. Let him come home. #IStandWIthEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeEvan

Honored by this great recognition for last year's project managed by yours truly. War Crimes Watch, Ukraine (aka Putin's Attack on Ukraine) won the Grand Prize for text and our documentary film won the International Television category:

Congratulations to @ekinetz, @tmjennings, Annie Wong, @VasilisaUKR, @mbieseck, @Beatrice_Dupuy, @seldeeb, and @alikodjakAP on winning our International TV, Print, and Grand Prize Awards for their powerful work: ‘Putin's Attack on Ukraine: Documenting War Crimes.’ #RFKBJA
SO thrilled with this recognition today. While my name isn't on the award due to limits on how many people can be listed, @alikodjakAP gave me such a nice shout-out here for "managing the whole shebang."
@raneyaronson, I don't everyone in your shop, but @milesalvord, @CarlaBorras @priyankaboghani
Anthony Delorenzo and Dan Nolan were all outstanding.

So proud of this work from @AP reflecting on the parallels between what I learned of the Bosnian War in Sarajevo and what Ukraine is experiencing now. @USEmbassySJJ @SarajevoTimes:

The entire press corps membership pushes every day for access, candor and accurate information. And oh yes…a Pentagon press secretary to speak about all those who serve the Constitution and the truth and know they may be asked to lay down their lives. Job is still empty we hear

And one more time for those officials in the back.. we ain’t going nowhere. Our folks come and go, retirements, change of beat, moving away. But we are the enduring legend of a press corps that has been in every combat zone since Normandy. For us “it’s family business” #respect

Russian journalist Roman Anin spoke to VICE World News about being exiled and labelled a “foreign agent” for daring to expose Putin’s regime. Even posting a heart emoji or liking a comment without disclosing his status could see him locked up. trib.al/Jgj3dCO
Proud of my role in the latest from @AP exposing the burgeoning roles artificial intelligence plays in our lives:

Social workers are asking as agencies across the U.S. weigh using data-driven tools to help decide which families to investigate. @_sallyho + @garanceburke found new research shows the tools may harden racial disparities. apne.ws/q0kPHuT

I think we should all remember those law firms, banks, registration agents and others that helped enable Putin and his inner circle. Swiss bankers? There is blood today on your hands. We need to get rid of the criminal services industry. They make autocracies possible.

Driving on the road towards Kyiv and the radio announcer is giving out instructions on how to make Molotov cocktails.
In an @janawinter story today: DOMEX, a program that collects information from … a person’s electronic device when they cross a U.S. border. The …program sweeps up everything from phone contacts and emails to the contents from encrypted messaging apps and social media.
Twitter informs me I’m sharing an article I haven’t read on twitter. Let the record show I read it elsewhere. All the way to the end.
When I learned the federal government reviewed my travel, banking, email, phone information without cause, my greatest concern was for our democracy.
