Here's somewhere around 12,000 words on the Louisville music scene from 20 writers. It's probably my favorite project I've ever worked on. leoweekly.com/2019/05/50-imp…

Hire this man.
He's passionate about local news and fights like hell for the people he manages. He's helped reporters win awards on vital beats: education, health, breaking news and southern Indiana. John's background and perspective will be sorely missing in this newsroom.

It’s been an honor to be a part of such an incredible team at Louisville Public Media/WFPL News over the past four years, but that time has come to an end. I’m not going to let my disappointment in this outcome overshadow all the incredible work we did.

My in-depth feature on @TTChilders in @BitterSouth is an expansive look at his life and career--and into the idea of Appalachia. #TylerChilders

There’s flow and familiarity in Alicia Little’s “slow and clunky decision making,” exhibit, but it’s the unpredictability of the art that gives it life. @scottmrecker has this review.

I spent the last week combing through the state's investigation into the death of Ja'Ceon Terry at Brooklawn last year. What I found was a child who was traumatized time and time again, and a system that failed to protect him. Here's the details:

One of my all-time favorite Louisville bands, Twin Limb, is reuniting to perform at @PoorcastleFest tomorrow. Before their first show in several years, I asked them a few questions for @leoweekly. leoweekly.com/2023/05/twin-l…

Iconic artists Shepard Fairey and Ralph Steadman recently showed side-by-side exhibits at the same small Louisville gallery. It happened by coincidence, and turned into something really memorable. I wrote about the show for Louisville Public Media. lpm.org/news/2023-05-10/shep…

A recent show at fifteenTWELVE’s Common Gallery put several cutting-edge artists up, side by side. Pieces featured Louisville-centric themes and universal connections. @scottmrecker has this review of the show and its lasting impact.

Hello twitter, I want to talk today about the state of the press relations in the United States. You may or may not know, but it is increasingly rare for your local journalist to be able to simply call an official to ask questions.

I wanna explain something about what today’s #Gannett layoffs mean for Louisville.
The CJ newsroom was untouched. But that doesn’t mean our product didn’t have several daggers taken to it.

“Gannett intends to eliminate all of its DOT regionals, according to an email the company sent to the Atlantic DOT Guild, the union representing producers on the Atlantic team.” poynter.org/business-work/20…

Some personal news: In January, I'll be leaving @leoweekly. Erica Rucker will be the paper's next editor-in-chief, and I'm excited to see her move the paper forward, because she has the vision, creativity and experience to make it happen. (1/3) leoweekly.com/2022/11/leo-ed…
