I've been blogging since 2002, mostly on WordPress. If I could start over, I'd switch to a slick newsletter platform that made monetization a breeze. At one time I was eyeing Substack longingly, but that's become toxic. People tell me that Ghost is a tech beast. I guess I'm staying on WordPress.

Will student journalists at The Daily Iowan be paid to cover local news at two weekly papers purchased by the nonprofit independent student newspaper? Or will the papers run stories produced by free labor? This story isn't clear. #journalism https://apnews.com/article/iowa-student-journalists-local-news-daily-iowan-c65ba32b4340cf290c41f31b3482fd2c

Happy Easter, everyone! And Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
The last two years we attended the sunrise service because we wanted to stay out of crowds during COVID surges. The situation is better this year, so we'll go to the 10 a.m. service and see all the kids.

I'm normally really good about responding to students' requests for interviews, even from other universities. But when a message begins "Dear Chris," I'm just going to let that go.

Was talking with my students this morning about how the Baltimore bridge disaster should be covered. A short list:

• How did it happen?
• Why did it happen?
• The victims and their families
• A more detailed look at why, including inspection records
• A story for every newsroom in the U.S.: Could it happen here? #journalism

It’s hard to know exactly what’s going on here. But Lana Bellamy of the Times Union in Albany, New York, has a story about a local district attorney named David Hoovler who’s been working with a public relations agency in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to produce favorable stories about him that are published in pink-slimy websites like California Weekly. My guess is that Hoovler’s getting ripped off. #journalism https://www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/news/article/orange-county-da-david-hoovler-social-media-19252020.php?utm_content=hed&sid=62b074eeecbfb9d568050746&ss=A&st_rid=d8f6b9bd-b538-4570-9aca-98c10d4ef59a&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=headlines&utm_campaign=altu%20%7C%20daily%20headlines

So now I have to use two separate accounts, one for Gmail and one for Northeastern (Exchange). The problem is that I have had to give up on an 18-year-old system of moving everything into Gmail and then having access to Google's superior search tools. It is aggravating to say the least. I've considered using my Gmail account for everything, but I'd prefer not to.

Is there anyone who can think of a workaround for this? (3/3)
