Well, it’s official now. So I guess there’s no turning back :-)

So there’s going to be this party …

I believe no other jschool can respond to changing times & take advantage of great faculty and great journalism professionals as quickly & effectively as Merrill College @ Maryland Univ. of Maryland. Exhibit A: These amazing new courses for the fall and the experts who will be teaching.

⁦Ari Melber⁩ on ⁦MSNBC⁩ did an excellent report tonight on this groundbreaking project & credited the AP but should have noted the years-long work of our students & faculty ⁦The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism⁩ ⁦Merrill College @ Maryland⁩ ⁦Univ. of Maryland⁩ apnews.com/article/02881a…

How many people die after police encounters involving force that is not supposed to be deadly?

The Associated Press, our The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism, Howard Center for Investigative Journalism & FRONTLINE today began publishing “Lethal Restraint: An investigation documenting police use of force.”

I can’t stop watching this …

Xena is back home in B’more, but it looks like she’s missing us. We get her back in a few days & will try to convince her again to apply for emancipation and live with us. Lots of treats. No shortage of squirrels & birds to bark at and chase. Flexible curfew. What’s not to like?

I dare you to watch this …

No, it didn’t snow today. But we did have this magical moment a few weeks back.

We're JUST journalism majors 🥹
