My review of @NickKristof's memoir: bit.ly/PoynterKristof. He makes an intriguing argument for the importance of hope as a journalistic principle and, for that matter, a journalistic tool.

My review of two big books about The New York Times and The Washington Post. Among other things, learn about Marty Baron’s biggest regret. And over at the NYT, learn one big reason why the Grey Lady enjoys more than triple The Post’s digital subs. Bit.ly/NYTWAPO

I'm so grateful that @NCRonline's @EarthBeatNCR is covering stories like this. Thanks @brianroewe and @scherp01 !

Many Catholic institutions are finding creative solutions to repair and repurpose aging infrastructure, rather than demolish and rebuild anew. In many cases, they have grounded those plans in values espoused in Catholic teaching. From @brianroewe: ncr.media/3GlzpHW

NCR's top 10 news stories for 2022 highlight calls for change in the Catholic Church. Amid the hope that Pope Francis' synod on synodality will lead to transformation, though, opposition to Francis' efforts continue. ncr.media/3WoqxYP

One of the most compelling accounts I’ve read of the human impact of the war in Ukraine, by NCR’s Vatican bureau chief, @cwwhiteNCR.

Be it among refugees in Poland or those who remain in Ukraine, there is widely shared determination that however long is necessary, the country is willing to continue battling Russia to defend its territorial integrity. Reporting from @cwwhiteNCR: ncr.media/3hCa586

Thank you to David DeCosse for this piece. Very timely, given this week's abortion vote in Kansas.

"In the 1980s, my Catholic case against abortion was airtight. The only things missing were the pregnant women involved in the matter."

It's Earth Day, and I'm hoping you'll help NCR keep the climate crisis front and center. We're hoping that 1,000 readers of EarthBeat will contribute $100 each. Thanks for considering! ncronline.org/earthbeat/dona…

I am so grateful for all Olga brought to @NCRonline and wish her the best of luck in whatever comes next. We plan to continue much of the amazing work she started in our Culture section and throughout the publication. But she will be missed.

It makes no sense to accumulate if one day we will die. What we must accumulate is love, and the ability to share, the ability not to remain indifferent when faced with the needs of others. #GeneralAudience

I would really like to watch the episode where @StephenAtHome and #PopeFrancis spend time speaking with one another.

Among the reasons NCR is independent of church authorities is our capacity to call for steps the authorities are unlikely to ever call for themselves. As in this editorial that you'll find in our next print edition, and published last week online: ncronline.org/news/accountab…
