I applaud Hell Gate but wish the NYT profile delved a bit more into the business model and overhead challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

As a bonus, here's my demo for NPR's Planet Money. Hard but fun to make and producers I've shown it to say I have a resonant voice. Didn't get co-host gig but thought you might enjoy, and/or hire me :) https://t.co/xrFowl1oaQ — PolitiTweet.org

Producers I've shown it to say I've got a good, resonant voice and right kind of sound and tone. Enjoy! — PolitiTweet.org

I didn't get co-host gig but here's demo I sent @NPR @planetmoney on the requested macroeconomic idea, "The Impossible Trinity." Made central banker a ship captain and tapped into my old radio play writing and producing days. Recorded in one take. https://t.co/xrFowl1oaQ — PolitiTweet.org

I'm multi-media: In one day I might write a digital article, go talk about it on TV, write and record a video script, thread a story on Twitter, run a Reddit AMA, and break news live on streaming. Then go to bed dreaming of podcast pitches. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a leader: I've filled in as unit head, edited Consumer/Tech/Travel. After we went remote I hosted monthly salons where teammates gave skills talks. Topics included OSINT techniques, reporting Indigenous stories appropriately, how digital reporters can pitch to tv. — PolitiTweet.org

I bring hits: My award-winning reporting resulted in fines and hearings against Mylan for EpiPen price spikes, exposed Paycheck Protection Program flaws, and recovered and published the then largest collection of identified Russian troll tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

Laid off in Feb along with some teammates and other reporters in the company due to strategic shifts. Took time to reconnect with family and passions. Recharged and seeking new consumer and economy reporting role, especially on how everyday people manage. And I bring the traffic. — PolitiTweet.org

Portland, Maine has a nice and affordable public bus system and lines share same stops. Yet riders complain the line schedules aren’t synchronized much, leading to long waits for connections. What gives? — PolitiTweet.org

Is there a United Artists for podcasters so you can earn a paycheck but also own your IP so you get paid if Hulu comes knocking? — PolitiTweet.org

So invigorating to be around the most journalists I’ve seen in one place in literal years at #ire22. Thank you @IRE_NICAR for the herculean effort & incredible experience. Sending off this many jazzed journalists *right now* to dig up truth will reap dividends for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Feeling inspired by #IRE22 investigative journalism conference to kick butt, take names, cross-reference them with a custom database, then mine public records for contact info and call for comment. — PolitiTweet.org

Got a few of these potential covid exposure notifications in Denver. Rapid tests negative. Hope the masking, hand-washing and going outside held up. https://t.co/jsPHhknLjh — PolitiTweet.org

Received a few of these exposure notifications in Denver and one after my flight. Rapid tests negative so far. Let’s hope that masking and hand washing (and going outside) held up! https://t.co/B5wdApiOyR — PolitiTweet.org

Back in Feb, I was first reporter to make relationship with @Datasembly to track national baby formula shortages for story w @CASottile @jolingkent. Outraged at outages but glad dataset still giving consumers, policymakers and fellow journalists view into the retail black box: https://t.co/uxON2k57Xf — PolitiTweet.org
