McClatchy layoffs affected a third of our reporting staff in Charlotte. They covered vital beats. A paper without an education or investigative reporter? A head-scratcher.
There's a lot to say, but for now I'll leave it at: please help, if you can. gofund.me/b0b34f55c

I'm back in South Carolina!
After a couple years covering education out West, today is my first day as @theobserver's accountability reporter for Rock Hill, York County and other SC communities that border Charlotte.
That means my time covering Arizona’s education dept has come to an end. I’m forever grateful for the team @azcentral that helped me produce high-impact journalism, like this. It was the highlight of my career (so far) — let's keep the momentum going. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Quality news starts with quality sources. Don't be a stranger! If you live in the region, I want to hear from you. What should I be looking into? What accountability stories would you like to see? Email me at [email protected] to connect.
