So thrilled for Tonya Mosley , one of the #DetroitDivas who is now a bright star in the journalism pantheon, and who I knew way back when. She's started her newest gig as the co-host of NPR and WBUR's Here & Now , and I just listened to her interview with Casey Gerald , co-founder and CEO of MBAs Across America . His musings on how #AfricanAmericans have mastered the "concept of inner freedom" was must-hear radio. #NPR #TonyaMosley #WBUR #HereAndNow …see more

Here’s a great example of why I’m so excited about joining the Global Press Journal team. I’ll be working with journalists like Raihana Maqbool , who is covering the ongoing tensions for people in the Indian-administered #Jammu and #Kashmir state. The government has revoked the state’s semi-autonomous status and instituted a media blackout. Raihana had to fly to #Delhi to download her reporting about the impact of the government’s actions, and to work with GPJ editors. I’ll be honored to support brave, hard-working women journalists like her. #GPI #GPJ #GlobalPressJournal #GlobalPressInstitute #journalism #Internationalreporting …see more

Good grief. The economic impact of the coronavirus is soo serious. "Workers at America’s largest companies are not covered under a bill passed by the House of Representatives on Friday to support American workers impacted by the spread of the #coronavirus . "The bill still has to be voted on by the Senate and approved before it can be signed into law, but its structure leaves a hole in the prevention strategy the government has said is necessary to reduce the COVID-19 outbreak in the US. “No American worker should worry about missing a paycheck if they’re feeling ill,” said Vice President Mike Pence at a Sunday press briefing from the Coronavirus Task Force. “If you’re sick with a respiratory illness stay home.” However, millions of Americans may not have the ability to make that choice under the congressional aid package. By excluding companies with more than 500 employees from the Congressional aid, the health and welfare of millions of Americans in industries providing goods, manufacturing, and vital services to most of the country is being left up to the discretion of their employers." #health #KellyeMedia …see more
