The last two weeks, I have only been home four days. Three in Minneapolis for #NICAR25 — check the magnet I picked up this year, that’s the logo from my *very first* NICAR — and a week in Chicago to celebrate my cousin getting engaged, and I stayed a week for work.
During a special lighting talk at #NICAR25, it was brought to our attention that some organizations on Nonprofit Explorer can only be surfaced by typing in the EIN 🫣
We just deployed a fix for this! All names are now searchable. Thx to @tisha.bsky.social

You must comply. #NICAR25
Friends from #NICAR25! I'm helping a couple young data journalists put together a story about this year's conference & all the great things you can still learn from tipsheets & audio. They are gathering input on the "best" sessions. Thread...
The aim of these posts is to be more transparent about my reporting and learning process. Learning new skills and tools is often frustrating and slow for me, but I am proud of what I have been able to apply from #NICAR25 already into my work at a small trade publication.
#NICAR25 !!
The NICAR Conference brought together more than 900 journalists, educators and students in Minneapolis! Here are 25 things we learned at #NICAR25. www.ire.org/25-things-we...
