Read this thread. A few years ago, after landing a dream feature at Chicago magazine (the literal glossy I dreamed to write for as a kid), I had to threaten to pull a story last minute because misogynistic & racist tone/language had been added to it by senior editors.

a lot of what went wrong in the @chicagomag article has to do with top editors not allowing any input from people who understand things that they refuse to. guarantee headline, art placement, and weird parentheticals were top editors' choices

A truly surprising part of reporting is that some interviews truly do make you understand yourself, your lived experiences, on a much deeper level.

#FOIAFest2021 @nixonron says have a FOIA state of mind 🔥to get to the documents we want before we need them: "It's like insurance. You don't have insurance after you get into a car accident. You get it before you need it." Think: Record retention schedule, forms, FOIA logs!
