The Atlanta Journal-Constitution sent out a memo to its staff and freelancers this week, banning them from making any public comment regarding the War in Gaza:

"Our operating principles also say you may support human rights with limitations."

What do you mean by "human rights with limitations"?

However, the majority of our journalists, in most roles, are expected to separate their personal opinions from our news coverage. Inappropriate social media comments can undermine colleagues' ability to cover issues and can cause controversy at a time when we need to be focused on covering the news and not becoming the subject of coverage and criticism. Our Ethics Code on political involvement and social media says to avoid expressing or posting opinions that reflect partiality or create perceptions of bias and undermine the credibility of the AJC. This applies specifically to politics and public policy and generally to all divisive areas of public debate. Each employee of our newsroom shares that obligation; it is not limited to those who cover politics or hard news.
Our operating principles also say you may support human rights with limitations. That is admittedly a difficult needle to thread when there are multiple human rights issues in a divisive debate. This is one of those cases, so we want to offer clear guidance for everyone: Do not post about or publicly discuss your personal views on the war, the protests or related policy discussions in any way that suggests you are taking sides or reflecting partiality. This includes both words and images. If you have any doubt or question, consult a supervisor before acting. If you are a columnist or opinion writer, you have different limits, and the views you express in the AJC are carefully edited and reviewed. Take extra care with personal formats like unofficial social media and do not extend your statements beyond your AJC-published work. I am happy to discuss any questions you may have.

Wrote a few words for @thexylom.com's newsletter about how all Georgians lost when the UGA First Amendment Law Clinic suspended all open records work.

BREAKING: Below is what would have been USC valedictorian Asna Tabassum’s commencement speech, as published on USC Annenberg Media and the Daily Trojan.

Mid-April her speech was cancelled citing security reasons triggering a series of events and national coverage.

My observations of MIT student encampments/ protests, and why I cover them, for @thexylom's newsletter:

More scenes from MIT Pro-Palestine encampments at Kresge Oval last evening. Despite counter-protests and disruptions to traffic, the past 24 hours were largely peaceful.

I recommend following The Tech, MIT's student newspaper, for their relentless coverage of events on campus.

BREAKING: Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a Republican, endorses Biden in an AJC Op-Ed.

“The GOP will never rebuild until we move on from the Trump era, leaving conservative (but not angry) Republicans like me no choice but to pull the lever for Biden."

A University of Georgia student was sent this notice of interim suspension after he was arrested Monday at a protest.

The email at 5:09 pm asked him to explain why he shouldn't be suspended by 5:10 pm or it would go into effect at 5:11 pm.

Inbox: The DOJ proposes a consent decree with Koch subsidiary Flint Hills Resources for their Christmas Eve 2022 oil spill at Ingleside, TX. Flint Hills will pay $989,212.80 in Oil Pollution Act and Clean Water Act fines.

A 30-day public comment period ends May 13th:

SCOOP: I was told by Cyndi Valdes, Executive Director of Ingleside on the Bay Coastal Watch Association, that residents hadn't heard about the proposed consent decree until I approached them for comment.

Here's IOBCWA's statement. Still awaiting a response from Flint Hills.

Spotted at the Boston Marathon, near Cleveland Circle!!

The winner ran a 4:49 mile, or roughly 12.5 miles per hour. That's faster than the green line (10.4 mph), barely slower than the Red Line (13.4 mph)

He's not wrong.

Excited to announce that @thexylom is a two-time finalist for the Atlanta Press Club Awards:

  1. Rising Star: myself!
  2. Photo Essay: "A Walk through Weelaunee Forest" by @nonmodernist which challenges the City of Atlanta's lies about "Cop City")

Interesting analysis coming from Lexington, Mass.: by slashing the price of a year-round bus pass to $20 from as much as $260, the City gained ridership while retaining roughly the same revenue
