SPJ has chosen @macloo, a professor at @UF, as recipient of the Distinguished Teaching in Journalism Award. She created coding courses for journalism students that took them from “I know nothing about coding” to high-end news app developers. bit.ly/2z2obWx
My phone app for @hulu is fine. My laptop/browser access to Hulu is fine. But the TV app through Roku is like "we think you are not at the location of your home."
Student journalism: In his 17 months as UF president, Ben Sasse more than tripled his office’s spending, directing millions in university funds into secretive consulting contracts, high-paying positions for his GOP allies. @garrettshanley@TheAlligatoralligator.org/article/2024/0…
Huge public university hires an unqualified man to be its president — turns out he then hired a bunch of his friends as high-paid “consultants”; travel budget ballooned because they all lived in D.C. alligator.org/article/2024/0…

Congrats to @macloo. She has been a tremendous teacher and leader in trying to move journalism into the digital world. And a valued colleague in the broadest sense of the word.
