Proud to share my latest publication on an audience perspective of local and sense of community. We outline a definition of local for policy and news research. I'm grateful to have worked with the incomparable @Nick_Mathews on this work. tandfonline.com/eprint/XKVIH…

Excited to have this piece out - we'll share as soon as it's online. But in the meantime, it's been a blast exploring conceptualizations of community and local with @Nick_Mathews - looking forward to future collaborations!!

Congratulations to @allkost on her first book - now out in the world for all to read - chronicling the incredibly important intersecting of news production / technology / computational skills. Awesome work by a brilliant @RutgersCommInfo alum!
My book “News Nerds: Institutional Change in Journalism” is out! bit.ly/3CLF4Fp
I argue journalism has undergone institutional augmentation: journalists are not only researching and writing; theyre coding, running analytics, developing apps. They are the News Nerds. 🧵

I guess this is to be expected w @amtrak but standing on the platform and the app says the train is on time - reality is it ended up being 40 minutes late. Frustrating when you've got a short trip!

Always wonderful to hear @foucaultwelles talk research - her presentation as part of Rutgers NetSCI Distinguished Speaker Series was a great way to wrap up the week. Her discussion of networked counterpublics & her research on #HashtagActivism was timely and enlightening.

Powerful to read and an important reminder as I’m on an early flight home to be back for the kids bedtime.
🧵 Today marks one year since my brain surgery @PennMedicine to remove a brain tumor.
Today I am humbled to be able to say I am completely healthy and can physically live my life as though it never happened
But I can’t lead my life like it never did. I have learned so much
We lost our French Bulldog, Louie, last week after a prolonged illness. I miss him terribly, especially working at home during the day b/c he was always there w me. But I'm blown away by the response from @chewy, from a thoughtful email to this bouquet of flowers that came today.

It's a small thing, but I'm a customer for life, and it was a touching act. I'm impressed at the care shown for their customers. RIP sweet Louie... and thanks @chewy for the thoughtfulness.

What do you think @RutgersU ?
Kind of amazing sense of humanity @uofsandiego - a one time discretionary payment of $2500 as a thank you to faculty for hard work and recognition of the insane economy. I'm not eligible, but I'm glad it is something my new employer thinks to do.
