My sister’s (@EvanMAllen) insane podcast investigation just dropped 3 more episodes! Her Pulitzer Prize winning reporting team spent 2.5 years reinvestigating a murder and in these three episodes you’ll start to hear what they found. (But the real twist doesn’t come til next week!) It’s called Murder in Boston and you can listen wherever you get your podcasts. Binge all 6 episodes today by clicking the link below 👇 listen.hbo.com/murder-in-bos…

The city of Boston’s public records office this spring took up an allegedly since-discarded practice in which it closed out various public-information requests for “no recent activity” — even though the only activity to be done was by the city itself bostonherald.com/2022/09/24/…

20 years ago, I began investigating the banishment from the public square of a photograph I saw on the morning of 9/12/01 and never again. I wound up writing “The Falling Man” because I discovered that @RDPhotographer’s taboo photograph told the stories of so many. 1/

And this law is coming up even today, in the Suffolk County DA’s race. Those accusations of sexual assault against Ricardo Arroyo? The reason the public can’t get access to the reports of the investigation to see what happened is because of this law. bostonglobe.com/2022/08/23/m…

Kate Price was willing to risk everything on her memories being true. She was convinced that, if she just looked hard enough, she could find the evidence she needed. Haunting read by @JanelleNanos, with beautiful photos by @erinclarkphoto. @BostonGlobe apps.bostonglobe.com/magazin…

I am so honored and amazed. Thank you to @SH_Awards, and to the most amazing team I could imagine: @swilmsen, a hero of an editor who believed in this story when I didn’t, @BethTeitell, who read every letter and talked me off every ledge, and to @ryanhuddle who made it beautiful.

You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.
