Thanks to @Jay_HorwitzPR for shining a light on the important work @Tunnel2Towers is doing. Jay was instrumental in arranging some of the interviews featured in the T2T film, “Never Forget: How Baseball Helped New York Heal.”
Displaying the same type of dedication he did as manager of the Mets, Terry Collins is now giving his all to help @Tunnel2Towers relocate 343 mortgage-free homes to veterans and first responders. 🎧👉 bit.ly/47uv5ob 🎥👉 bit.ly/4s8cDcy

Thank you to @ABC7 sportscaster @SamRyanABC7 for speaking to our @FordhamCMS journalism class. Sam spoke about the women who paved the way for her and how “if you can see it, you can be it.” Students were impressed by her persistence and determination. She was inspiring.

The deaths of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11 left families and friends in agony. As part of the @Tunnel2Towers 9/11 Reflections series, Jim Giaccone looks back on the murder of his brother. This is a powerful story. t2t.org/9-11-never-forget/ji…

Legend.
RIP to a legend of Washington journalism, and an icon of the White House press corps. I was honored to sit in Mark’s briefing room seat for several years. It was always HIS seat. cbsnews.com/news/mark-knolle…

This is the last of eleven reflections on the closing of WCBS 880 last August.
A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. 1/4. If you are a listener, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for waking up with us or going to bed with us. Thank you for trusting us to give it to you straight. Thank you for caring about us, as is obvious from the outpouring of support.

There is magic in radio and WCBS 880, now gone, did it right.
A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. 1/4. Growing up in NJ, I never allowed myself to dream of being on WCBS. It was the gold standard. Then in 1994, I was hired. The reporters were radio royalty. The standard of excellence was so high, I knew I needed to bring my A-game every day.

WCBS 880 proved that local news matters.
A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. 1/4. When Superstorm Sandy hit the NYC-area on Oct 29, 2012 it brought devastation like no other. With towns submerged and power out, 880 was a lifeline. We told residents’ stories, provided critical information and spoke to public officials.

#NeverForget. WCBS 880 never did.
A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880 1/4. In the days and weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the nation made a solemn promise to #NeverForget. During my time at 880, we were committed to upholding that promise. I’m proud to have covered every anniversary ceremony until 2022, when I left.

One of my favorite WCBS 880 stories.
A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880 1/4. The night of May 2, 2011, my phone rang. “We got bin Laden” were the first words I heard from 880 manager @MrRobSanchez. I eventually went to Ground Zero, not knowing what to expect. There was a party with 100’s on Church St celebrating.

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. 1/4. If you lived through 9/11, you don’t need it explained. If you didn’t, it’s hard to fully understand. The professionalism shown by the 880 news team is hard to wrap your head around. When it felt like the world was ending, calm voices had info.

There’s still a void where WCBS 880 used to be.
A REFLECTION @WCBS880 1/3 One of the best days of the year was @nycmarathon Sunday. We had reporters across the course telling stories of grit, determination and caring. The course was lined with runners’ friends and relatives, along with strangers cheering the accomplishments.

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. 1/2 You hear the names and voices of the anchors and reporters, but there are so many others who are critical to the operation. They are producers, writers and desk assistants who make sure everyone and everything is in its place. WCBS had the best.

Long live the Mighty 880, WCBS-AM.
A REFLECTION @WCBS880 1/2. I traveled to Haiti after a devastating earthquake in Jan 2010. I went with @concernwwus, an aid group. I have vivid memories of a couple with their baby at a destroyed house. In a live report I asked, what kind of future will this baby have?

I was one of many reporters we had on a story that captivated the country. Irene Cornell was on Cape Cod and @MDiamond8 and Sean Adams were among the others in different places. After the plane was discovered, I went home. It was great radio.

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. In July 1999, JFK Jr’s plane went down off Martha’s Vineyard. I went to cover the search. I convinced the boss to let me charter a plane. They were different budgetary times. The pilot described the approach to the airport and vastness of the ocean.

They pulled the plug on WCBS 880 a year ago. As a tribute, I’m reposting some of my reflections.
A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880. 1/2. In March 2018, a Nor’easter left residents in Scarsdale without power for a week. People have computers in their pockets, but news releases don’t provide answers and posting on social media is like screaming into the void.

From a recent @Tunnel2Towers video shoot with two 9/11 first responders down in Florida. Proud for this association with T2T and these heroes! #tunneltotowers #t2t #lgm
