Breaking: I'm (almost) employed again. Next month, I'll be joining the Louisville Courier-Journal to cover the Louisville Metro Police Department and other criminal justice-related issues. It’s a critical time in Louisville. City leaders have pledged reforms despite the DOJ’s…
Howdy from Wisconsin!🐄 🧀Personal news: This week I moved across the country and Monday will be my first day @WisconsinWatch! Stoked to do some great work with this team. More on what I’ll be reporting on⬇️
6 months ago, we reported that the $3B Texas border wall was dozens of fragmented sections mostly in rural areas. We found the state was also struggling with land acquisition. This month, lawmakers quietly stopped funding the wall. It's 8% complete. texastribune.org/2025/06/17/tex…
McKenna is as talented as they come, and any workplace would be extremely lucky to have her.
Nearly two years ago, I moved my life across the country to take a chance on the Houston Landing. While I hate the way things ended, I don't regret coming here for a second. I became a better reporter and writer and gained new skills. Here is why you should hire me:
We @HoustonChron witnessed arrests at immigration court for the second day in a row today. Plainclothes ICE agents took 3 men whose asylum cases had just been dismissed by a judge and put them in handcuffs houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
Today in 1984, Wim Wenders’ Houston film “Paris, Texas" wins the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. @Festival_Cannes
Much like Houston, the Landing was vibrant, imperfect, and full of heart. Thank you to everyone who trusted us with your stories. We’re proud of what we built together. Thank you, Houston, for being our home, our inspiration, and our purpose.
Houston Landing Forever.
HISD found an employee sent a lewd video to a student. Parents were left in the dark. New and important from @small_asher, who is serving the @Hou_Landing mission until the very end. houstonlanding.org/hisd-found-an-…
Folks, the Houston Landing closes this week, putting dozens of journalists and staff out of work. Given the significant remaining need, we've increased our fundraising goal to $15,000. We're 74% of the way there, but we need your help. Please share widely: gofundme.com/f/support-hous…

“It’s likely the award will be the Landing’s last. The nonprofit newsroom learned earlier this month that it will cease operations on May 15 due to financial issues.” It’s been an honor @Hou_Landing. Fitting we’re going down swinging. (houstonlanding.org/houston-landin…)
Following the announcement that two of our journalists are Livingston award finalists, the Landing has garnered 13 Texas Managing Editor awards, including two first place finishes. houstonlanding.org/houston-landin…
NEW: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, and Colony Ridge have asked a federal judge in Houston to pause the government’s reverse redlining lawsuit, requesting time to mediate and potentially reach a settlement. houstonlanding.org/cfpb-doj-colon…
Immigration reporter @AnnaCat_Brigida and Houston ISD reporter @small_asher have been recognized as finalists for the 2025 Livingston Award. They're among over 70 finalists representing the best reporting and storytelling by journalists under 35. bit.ly/3EJNG4i
Further proof that the talent assembled in the @Hou_Landing newsroom is second to none. Congrats to my colleagues @small_asher & @AnnaCat_Brigida who have both been named Livingston Finalists, separately, for their phenomenal work last year: wallacehouse.umich.edu/livingston-awa…
