Dear @ire.org: AccessFest is here! I'm joining the fabulous @nicolefcarr.bsky.social at 10 a.m. ET Friday Oct. 10. Nicole's writing shows how Black journalists have contributed to journalism from day one because history matters. I write about my journey as a Latina producing investigations. Join us!

This remembrance of Susy Carroll, a great investigative journalist, by Lise Olsen, another great investigative journalist, says so much about the people who do this work.

I miss Susy, and I'm grateful to Lise for finding such a fitting way to honor her work & memory.

BREAKING: Last night, an immigration board wrongly issued a final removal order for Emmy award-winning journalist Mario Guevara. ICE has detained Mario for over 100 days for his reporting, despite a previous order that he be released on bond.

This means he could be deported at any moment.

I’ll be talking about my reporting on government AI use on MuckRock’s FOIA Friday podcast this week, and on a panel at @ire.org AccessFest conference next month.

This investigation wouldn’t have been possible without support from the editors + news team who Cascade PBS decided to lay off this week

For over 100 days, journalist Mario Guevara has been detained by U.S. law enforcement for his livestream reporting.

He is the only journalist behind bars for his journalism, and he could be deported for doing his job.
