I think this is even worse than the Star-Ledger announcement, since the Jersey Journal has a few reporters doing real work and it's just closing entirely — not just ceasing print publication. nj.com/hudson/2024/10…
This is devastating. The Jersey was able to attract some of the state and country's best journalists over the years because of its aggressive and necessary coverage of NJ's 2nd largest city. nj.com/hudson/2024/10…
On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
The painful discovery you make when canvassing in 2024 is what the collapse of local media means. Very few voters in my key swing congressional district (NY-19) have heard of their down-ballot candidates--even though these are the people with the most impact on their lives.

New: Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She'd told her husband that the medical team said it couldn't act until the fetal heartbeat stopped. propub.li/4f2ILsh
I love the @washingtonpost because the journalism is top notch, the writing is clear and powerful and the people there care deeply about this country. They want their reporting to help and inform others. #whyisubscribe
I pay for the @washingtonpost for great media reporting by @erikwemple, politics scoops from @jdawsey1 and @ashleyrparker, and cause @petridishes don't miss. #whyIsubscribe
Please don't kill the Washington Post newsroom because Bezos spiked their editorial board's endorsement of Kamala Harris. npr.org/2024/10/28/nx-…
I do not advise a boycott of a newspaper unless the workers of the paper call for a boycott
NONE of the Post workers are asking for a boycott. Cancelling your subscription will only hurt the hardworking journalists and others that have made the Post great.
Jeff Bezos killed the Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris not its reporters or editors. Canceling your subscription only hurts them. cnbc.com/2024/10/25/jef…
IT TURNS OUT: Javier Rodriguez, the Bronx barber with a $15,000 utility bill, is the unlucky victim of a billing error, according to Con Edison, the city's utility for electric, gas and steam. A spokesman said that the company has been working with him to resolve it.
A Bronx barber tells Trump that his energy bills went from $2,100 to $15,000 since Biden and Kamala took over. Trump’s response: “WHAT??”
My friend Mariel Garza just resigned as editorials editor of @latimes after the newspaper’s owner blocked the editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris for president. cjr.org/business_of_ne…

Mayor Eric Adams says at a town hall that sometimes he feels down and wonders why he does the job of the mayor, but students who asked about access to fresh food remind him why and he launches into a speech about his plant based diet and says that will be his legacy.
"The department’s discipline for illegal street detentions is lax at every level, according to an extraordinary review ordered by a federal judge." @NYTimesCramer and I report. nytimes.com/2024/09/23/nyr…
While waiting, low-income domestic violence survivors are often stuck between two choices: staying where their abusers can find them or moving to a homeless shelter, where the length of stay allowed is usually limited. @RubergSara in @nytimes nytimes.com/2024/09/18/us/…
Lisa Zornberg provided a brief explanation in her very short resignation letter yesterday to Mayor Adams: “I have concluded that I can no longer effectively serve in my position,” she wrote in the letter obtained by @NY1.
