ICFJ stands with Evan Gershkovich. It has been one year since the The Wall Street Journal reporter was wrongfully detained by Russia for simply doing his job. That is one year of missed birthdays, holidays & family moments. It is also one year of his essential reporting silenced. #IStandWithEvan

I'm giving away another signed advance copy of my new book, BEN & ME. Subscribe to my (free) newsletter (if you haven't already done so) to be entered automatically. ericweinerbooks.com/newsletter/ Avid Reader Press

.Nasr ul Hadi, a digital leader in India, is running for the board of Online News Association. As a founding member of the org & first administrator of its awards, I just grilled him over Zoom. He's going to be a great global board member, representing the best of what ONA does and can do. #NasrForONA

“I have worked with Nasr since 2014, and I know he would make an excellent addition to the board of ONA,” says ICFJ President Sharon Moshavi. 2/3
