Would argue they still have great investigative journalists, just fewer of them.

Love this behind-the-scenes interview with my beloved @jachristian.bsky.social about this crazy photo she took in 2020

How a Chronicle photographer captured a surreal viral photo shared by Obama

An image of unsettling skies during unsettling times that one San Francisco Chronicle photographer will never forget.

It seemed crazy fitting that "All the President's Men" star Robert Redford passed away on the same day the Washington Post became dead to me by bowing again to fascism and firing its moral beacon, @karenattiah.bsky.social

The Washington Post was the paper of my teen dreams -- whose courage helped convince me to chose a life in journalism. Monday's firing of the Post's moral beacon, Karen Attiah, proved that a newsroom I'd believed in is now dead to me

Not surprised that this is the top story. #Ferguson remains the most impactful story in the St. Louis area this century. It remains an important topic that deserves timely coverage. www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...

Ferguson man with ties to Michael Brown is shot and killed

Dorian Johnson is the man who spawned the "hands up, don’t shoot" narrative that fueled the months-long Ferguson protest movement.

Dorian Johnson, the man walking beside Michael Brown when Brown was shot and killed by a #Ferguson police officer in 2014, was shot and killed blocks away from that scene this morning. Last saw him in 2019 on Brown's birthday, talking with foreign tourists. www.firstalert4.com/2025/09/07/d...

Just out getting familiar with the new gear and came across this interaction at the St. Louis Zoo between a giraffe and an Addra gazelle. While it may look loving, a keeper tells me they are both young males and it's more likely sparring for dominance.

Continue to marvel at night photography with the magic phone, as lanterns are lit at the Japanese Festival at @mobotgarden. Hand-held exposure of 2.3 sec. Fest runs through Monday.
