Here’s a really good story laying out the facts and falsehoods about Apple’s sole manufacturing operation in the U.S., which preceded Trump’s presidency by years. The President visited it today. https://t.co/FlnuOviayZ — PolitiTweet.org

They can call it a “debate”, but having a huge group of candidates answer press conference questions from four moderators in short bursts of their stump speeches isn’t highly illuminating. And that’s true no matter what all the analysts write, say or tweet afterward. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is there only 1 moderator from the @washingtonpost instead of 50-50? — PolitiTweet.org

@projomike @projo Even the sale to Belo must have been awful. I started as a copy boy and then a summer reporter throughout college. When I was there, the place was owned by Metcalfe, the local guy. It was fully staffed. It’s where I became a journalist. Loved your book, BTW, and follow your work. — PolitiTweet.org

@SteffenSoeffner @projo @BostonGlobe In light of the decline at the Providence Journal, I'm glad the @BostonGlobe has moved in to fill some of the void. I subscribe to its R.I. newsletter. But, as far as I can tell, it's only a small bureau. That's way too little for a million people, even if the staff is great. — PolitiTweet.org

@opinion_joe @projo I absolutely did. — PolitiTweet.org

@defcon_5 @opinion_joe It does, doesn’t it? Born in Providence, raised in Warwick, a proud graduate of Pilgrim High School and the Providence Journal. — PolitiTweet.org

@amteixeira @dicktofel No. Quality local journalism isn’t scalable. It can’t be run from a central national location. It requires many boots on the ground to witness events first hand, cultivate sources, understand the community, inform the citizens. This is a disaster for democracy, IMO. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ At one time, the @projo boasted a large, talented staff of journalists and was strong enough to hold corrupt politicians to account, even in small towns around the state. Now, it has a tiny staff and is so weak that the @BostonGlobe has begun regular coverage of R.I. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ The Providence Journal won 4 Pulitzer Prizes, and once had a network of numerous bureaus locally and in Washington. It is one of the oldest newspapers in the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

1/ I mourn for the Providence Journal, where I got my start. The only big, high-quality news organization in R.I., a state with a million prople, it’s now a hollow shell of its former Pulitzer-prize-winning self. And it was owned by GateHouse, which just took over Gannett. @Projo — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re not watching @pkafka’s great interviews at #CodeMedia happening now, you’re missing some great stuff. Here’s just one example, with ex-ESPN chief and now sports streaming guy John Skipper. More on the YouTube @Recode channel. https://t.co/YJUkg7LZ7Z — PolitiTweet.org

This is a great story about a great program the ⁦@NewsLitProject⁩ runs across the country. These events bring teachers inside nearby newsrooms, where the journalists explain how they work. The teachers can then use the info to teach news literacy. https://t.co/g35xIOToIn — PolitiTweet.org
