    Finally! After weeks of pressure from our union, employees across the company and viewers like you, the New York Times has agreed to extend its new equitable parental leave policy to unionized employees!

    the volunteer effort to find is something to behold and would be difficult to do without Facebook.

    I remember all the different times & forums Amanda brought this up, months and even years ago. The union is made up of editors, reporters, critics, people who work in art and design and biz... it's the beating heart of the newsroom. Why exclude us from this benefit?

    I'm happy for the families that will benefit from this today. But to fight so hard for something and then be told that your family doesn't count ... that we're just some bargaining chip ... it feels like guild members are being punished for raising and advocating on this issue.

    and thanks for helping with this framing:

    This is the most important experiment in the mainstream news media today, imho, and deserves a lot more leaning in to than other gimmicks that pass for innnovation in media. via

    In 2018 stopped running mugshots/names of people who commit minor crimes. Now, in another innovation around what to leave out, it's refusing to cover politicians' lies and stunts:

    Good news: I have gathered a bunch of photos of naval ship cats in tiny hammocks. Here are sailors of the HMS Hermione in 1941 surrounding their sleeping cat, Convoy.

    climate is so much more than terrible – it's people chaining their bodies to pipelines, it's scientists arguing we should block out the sun to fix this (!!), it's local struggles over installing wind turbines, it's dastardly oil companies continuing to try to get away w murder!

    (reading it also made me wonder how grief/emotion/nostalgia fit in with the climate beat because a lot of this is just going to be SAD, do we have the right tools for covering that?)

    Editors! Please stop using images of happy people frolicking on beaches to illustrate articles about deadly heatwaves. That's a subtle form of climate denial. This photo by running in better tells the truth.
