Trone L. Dowd’s Tweets
Just saw this. This is a good reporter and good dude. Hard to believe Vice let go talent like this. IMHO anyway.
Trone gave us some excellent coverage on a jury issue in Glynn County, GA during jury selection for the trial of the Michaels for murder of Arbery

Welp. Sad to say I’m one of the many, many people who’ve been hit by the @VICENews layoffs today.
Proud of the work I’ve done these last three years, and so lucky to have shared a newsroom with some of the best in our industry. I’m a better reporter for it.

Trone’s work is unparalleled - his empathy as a reporter, his attention to stories and people that are frequently told they don’t matter — this is a huge loss for vice. Hire him immediately.

Trone is just the absolute best. A great writer and thoughtful reporter, kind human, TikTok superstar, hard worker. Massive loss for us - huge gain for whoever hires him.

Sad to see this but Trone is an incredible journalist and friend, and does some very important work with a very keen eye on details. Any newsroom would be luck to have him!

It’s impossible to express all the ways helped me grow as a reporter. He’s a tremendous newsroom leader who cares about the growth and well-being of his people.
Any newsroom would be lucky to have him at the helm!

thread of vice journalists laid off today. hire, follow, and support them as well as as they continue to fight for workers.

VICE Union is devastated by today's mass layoffs affecting dozens of unit members and around 100 employees overall. These workers are suffering the consequences of years of poor decisions they played no part in.

I was Trone's editor for years, and he's so compassionate and fair in all that he reports and writes. Also kick ass on camera. Unfailing kind. Great beard. Will miss working with him so much.

Florida Republican Rep. Webster Barnaby directly compared trans people to mutants in X-Men and called the trans people, including children, present in the room "demons and imps."
This was during debate for HB1421 that would criminalize trans people using bathrooms.
