I wrote a little about how we pick which stories to cover in our news section here at @hakaimagazine mailchi.mp/hakaimagazine/fra…

So excited to see @hakaimagazine merge with @bioGraphic. Check out their first news story post-launch: biographic.com/who-watches-t…

The future of bioGraphic looks bright! But to get there, we need your help to raise $150,000 by December 31 to complete our 2025 budget. Learn how you can support bioGraphic and Hakai moving forward: bit.ly/supportbiog

This big move is part of our plan to build a sustainable financial future for bioGraphic. In Jan. 2025, we will welcome experienced staff members from Hakai, a partnership that will bring journalistic expertise, new funding opportunities, and an enthusiastic and engaged audience.

Our magazines have much in common: Both are independent, nonprofit publications committed to telling deeply reported and rigorously accurate stories that are also beautiful to read.

You may have heard the exciting news... We are pleased to announce a partnership with the team from @hakaimagazine, an award-winning publication based in Victoria, British Columbia, that covers coastal and ocean stories from around the world.

I’ve written for both these publications—both are a dream to work with—and I couldn’t be more excited that they’re tying the knot. Will you all give them a wedding present?

"But here we are, on the brink of announcing where Hakai Magazine will land in 2025. We’re committed to telling the stories that matter—stories that explore the wonder of the natural world and the people working to protect it. Stay with us." mailchi.mp/hakaimagazine/for…

100k foot view of the WaPo situation: I suppose it’s possible that Bezos sincerely formed, in his private thoughts, the principle that presidential endorsements are bad, and the timing of this articulation ~just happened~ to coincide with this principle being *obviously* advantageous to his company Blue Origin. It’s … possible! But, as a general matter, if you come up with a personal principle at the very moment when that principle is most convenient, the price you pay for that convenience is that nobody will trust you. Nor should they. To make a ludicrous but I think sort of helpful comparison: My principle on kitchen hygiene is I don’t think my kitchen countertops need weekly scrubbing. That’s the sort of thing to make clear to my wife when the counters are clean. If I articulate this principle for the first time 0.5 seconds after my wife tells me to scrub the kitchen counters on a day when I'm kind of busy, *of course* she won’t believe me. She *should not* believe me. It would be sort of touchingly hilarious if she did! “We don’t endorse presidential candidates” is a defensible position. Coming up with that principle during the editing process for a Harris endorsement days before your company is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump is not a decision whose timing deserves anybody’s trust. And the media environment is too competitive for news organizations to carelessly set fire to their integrity without enormous consequences.

kind of an obscene use of the word "we" going on in this

What a pleasure to win one from your peers, and to share the honour with @Sarah_Gilman for her unforgettable rat paintings. Thanks again to @hakaimagazine for wise counsel and making it all come together.

Hot off the press! My story about the green threat to Galápagos tortoise migration is live. Thanks to @hakaimagazine. hakaimagazine.com/features/t…
