Over the past few years, I’ve developed a series of 90-minute, skills-focused trainings designed for newsrooms of all sizes.
They’re practical, affordable, and require no advance prep. The goal: reporters leave with tools they can use immediately. I can work with any budget.

It's Election Day in Texas and some counties could be slower to report results.
Those include Gillespie and Eastland where results are likely to take longer because Republicans are counting their ballots by hand.

Former Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer: “Clearly the federal government is going to do things that it’s never done before. The FBI going in and taking materials from an election that happened over five years ago is unprecedented, so maybe we’re destined for additional unprecedented actions."
Those who faced threats and pressure say the president’s legal authority may be limited, but the guardrails that once kept him in check aren’t as strong as they used to be.
