Being laid off from The Washington Post doesn’t erase the work or the responsibility to keep telling stories in a moment when they matter more than ever. I’ve built my career by showing up, digging in and putting people first. Reach me: [email protected]

Best ways to support journalism in 2025

"We know things suck. What can we do about it?

‘Tis the season for new beginnings, so based on my experiences as a longtime newspaper reporter, Guild president, policy advocate and journeyman digital creator/troll, here are concrete ways you can support positive change in 2025. I’ve broken up the recommendations based on whether you’re a news consumer, a journalist or a policymaker."

Local Journalism Directory | Media and Democracy Project

We created a directory to help you find local journalism and local news sources in your area worth reading and supporting.

This is a terrific resource and a good place to put a few bucks if you have them to spare.

These are generally great rules!

Explore CPJ's database of attacks on the press

So far this year 5 journalists have been killed either due to their work or while working. The increased incidents of world leaders denigrating journalism as ‘fake news’ and calling journalists ‘the enemy’ is increasing the feelings of immunity that those who target these workers feel, emboldening their violent actions. We must protect journalists or lose those who tell us the truth.

Murdered so far this year:

Ahmed Hussein-Suale Divela , Tiger Eye Private Investigations, January 16, 2019, Ghana, Murder

Leonardo Gabriel Hernández, Valle TV,  March 17, 2019, Honduras, Murder

Lyra McKee, Freelance, April 18, 2019 Derry, Northern Ireland, Crossfire

Mohamed Ben Khalifa , Freelance, January 19, 2019 , Libya, Crossfire

Rafael Murúa Manríquez, Radiokoshana FM, January 20, 2019, Mexico, Murder
