Thanks producers, staff, @jdickerson1968, @mauriceduboistv for your good work on @CBSEveningNews. It was a strong network show with its short opening tease, strong reporting, the well-written quick Roundup and the long-form piece at the end. I will miss this show.

Frustrated with the media? Well it does make a difference: @nysfocus reported NY Health Dept. had never implemented a law to reimburse kidney donors for their expenses. After the story, the state finally did -- 3 years later! @GovKathyHochul

Very powerful and well reported story by two @PostStandard reporters @meisenstadtsyr and @mbreidenbach re: raid on local factory. syracuse.com/news/2025/09/in…

Inside the Upstate NY immigration raid: Secrecy, deception and a rush to deport dozens of workers...

Syracuse.com's examination of the raid at Nutrition Bar Confectioners in Cato shows questionable tactics.

Our church is looking for a music director -- who can lead both choral and contemporary music. Pass this on to anyone you know who would love to shape University United Methodist Church, Syracuse, NY's dynamic music ministry , files.constantcontact.com/92…

Good analysis of the #DetroitTigers @Tigers broadcast team in @Freep with @NewhouseBDJ alum @JasonBenetti garnering most of the love. freep.com/story/sports/colum…

Detroit Tigers don't have perfect TV broadcast — but it sure is fun to watch

Jason Benetti, a talented broadcaster, can capture a big moment with the best, but his true gift is how he always seems to bring something else.

Syracuse Police have shut down access to its license plate surveillance data after @Central_Current showed it was not supposed to make it available. Had been searched 4.4 million times! Another example why journalism matters. centralcurrent.org/syracuse-…

Syracuse police exposed driver data to cops around the country

Police officers searched Syracuse's data nearly 4.4 million times. SPD has backed out of the data sharing agreement, a spokesperson said.
