For #NewsEngagementDay, a salute to one of my favorite podcasts about the profession: The Journalism Salute (pod.link/journalismsalute). @marksimon.bsky.social
has interviewed 246 journalists about who they are & what they do. He shared some wisdom he has gleaned with my #ccsujournalism students.

Long time CT resident and Hartford Courant subscriber Mark Landry told me for #NewsEngagementDay that he loves reading the Courant as he prefers local accounts on news as opposed to national ones - particularly coverage about his UConn Huskies during basketball season! #CCSUJournalism

#NewsEngagementDay This article by long time @theguardian.com writer Edward Helmore is very in depth and rich in quotes from surgeon generals warning about this current administrations views on public health and safety. Very fascinating, and worrisome, read. #CCSUJournalism

For #newsengagementday I want to shout out @theguardian.com’s @owenjones.bsky.social. I enjoy reading the informative articles he writes about the tragic conflict in Gaza and how well he relates it to present global contexts as well as historical contexts. #CCSUJournalism
