@zacknewsman.bsky.socialPositively HYPED to be a 2026 Data Fellow with the USC Center for Health Journalism. I'm going to dive deeply into a robust pedestrian safety investigation for @coloradosun.com
@zacknewsman.bsky.socialIf you like the Wood Brothers, highly recommend "One More Day," "Luckiest Man," "Sing About it" and "Far from Alone" by them too. They have some bangers that help when I'm sad
@zacknewsman.bsky.socialJessica Huseman's main advice is to get in touch with local election officials now so they know you before their life gets even crazier
@zacknewsman.bsky.socialWe published the first of our @votebeat.org election guides for journalists today. The first one is our Election Coverage Checklist, which lays out advice for steps journalists can take now to robustly report midterm stories.
@zacknewsman.bsky.socialJaw dropping and incredible thorough work. Thank you for your efforts here.
@tinavasquez.bsky.socialReposted by @zacknewsman.bsky.socialNEW: H-2A worker Carlos Vargas Moreno experienced a catastrophic heat stroke when his employer, Florida Orange Gold, subjected him to unsafe working conditions. The same company was cited two years prior for the heat-related death of H-2A worker Carmen Sebastian Hernandez Mosqueda.
