This thread is SO on brand for Losowsky ... using his award to draw attention to work HE admires. So generative. So classy. So community focused.

Explain your goals, process and integrity when covering mass shootings The news is tragic, and it’s unfolding in an all-too-familiar way. Innocent people have died. Society tries to make sense of the shooter’s motivation and mindset. People and organizations express outr...

I'm sad every time I have cause to share this @trustingnews.bsky.social resource around covering mass shootings. trustingnews.org/explain-goal...

I'm so excited to have these live. Huge thanks to the team at @globalpress.bsky.social.

Training | Sunlight Research Join Sunlight Research Center for in-depth investigative reporting workshops designed to help journalists build their reporting skillsets.

Anyone's welcome at a free training I'm doing with @sunlightresearch.bsky.social on Friday. We'll talk about how to earn trust through transparent reporting practices. www.sunlightresearch.net/research-tra...

I'm looking forward to my first @mediaimpactfunders.bsky.social gathering, and to this conversation.

Great food for thought here from @mayerjoy.bsky.social of @trustingnews.bsky.social.

"What is preventing people from accessing what you’re doing, from understanding what you’re doing, and from finding what you’re doing credible?"

Thanks, Garvin!

Our path forward with earning trust is to get really curious about that gap and explore with *humility* what we can do to shrink it.

Thanks to @mbolden.bsky.social for moderating a fun discussion at #ISOJ25 today. My thesis: Journalists need to understand who feels neglected or misrepresented by their journalism AND who has trouble *hearing* their journalism because it seems to come from an unrelatable or unuseful place.

A lot of people assume money drives news decisions — that we chase clicks, squash news our owners/publishers don’t want us to publish, etc. If you have ever wondered how to respond to complaints like that, come to our @trustingnews.bsky.social webinar on March 20. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

I'm so lucky to work with this group of smart folks.

If you're in NC, join us next week for the @nclocal.bsky.social news workshop. I'm leading a session for @trustingnews.bsky.social on trust in an era of news avoidance, and the program is PACKED with insightful folks. www.eventbrite.com/e/2025-nc-ne...

How do we talk *to* and *about* people we disagree with? And how should journalists be thinking about that? I'm looking forward to lessons from this conversation. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

This work might be tough, but it feels important.

Ha ha! Good times!

Tomorrow, we'll be talking about who feels well-represented by our journalism and who doesn't. And how better conversations in the newsroom (across power dynamics!) could help us reflect and reach more people. Join us. bit.ly/dimensionstn

A note to my Jan. 2 self: Yes, every incomplete task from December awaits your @rememberthemilk.bsky.social task list and nudged inbox today. No, you do not need to accomplish them all today. Yes, it is reasonable to be frustrated with you Dec. 20 self. She made unkind decisions.

Any creator journos out there primarily working on TikTok? DM me if you want to talk about your plan B if (when) TikTok is banned in the U.S.

Imagine all the stress that will go away if I don't see a huge to do list every time I open my laptop!

(But yes, you're right. Alas.)

I'm going to go ahead and commit to something bold: When I sign off for the holidays in two weeks, I will close any Chrome tabs I have been meaning to read but have not yet gotten to.

Thanks, Simon. 😅
