Man I& #39;m sitting here thinking about the essential reporting the @IdahoStatesman has been providing with story after incredible story and honestly? My colleagues blow me away every single day, even when we& #39;re all working from kitchen tables and living room couches.
Like @audreydutton for instance? In a normal world, Audrey is an essential read. In a COVID world? She& #39;s one of the most important in the state. I love this story that ran yesterday: https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241680941.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
Or @nicoleMfoy? I dare you to find someone who works harder at bringing a voice to the people who need it most. The stories she writes have implications not only for Idaho but for the whole country. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241707146.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
. @Ximena_Bustillo is putting out stories that make you think about what& #39;s important and has quickly developed a news sense that matches people with five times the experience. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241766346.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
(OH and don& #39;t for a MINUTE forget that @nicoleMfoy and @Ximena_Bustillo have spent time reporting out the most critical information in Spanish, a service most government agencies have yet to provide. They are literally saving lives.)
I don& #39;t know how @k_talerico pops out feature after feature on a normal day, much less during a global pandemic!!! I& #39;m in awe pretty much all the time. Here& #39;s one where she saw a gap in news coverage and went deeper, as is her speciality: https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241662516.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
There& #39;s @NMBlanchard, who somehow does the job of five people every single day. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241786736.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
There& #39;s @Jacob_Scholl, who started and then was told to start working from home THE NEXT DAY. Hasn& #39;t stopped him from doing untouchable work: https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241691206.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
Can& #39;t forget @JohnWSowell, who finds new, interesting, innovative business angles every single day. Everything he has written for WEEKS is a must-read. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/business/article241747431.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/busi...
I love working with people like @CynthiaSewell, the kind of hard worker who sees a story in everything and ALSO manages to make all her stories good. I don& #39;t know many other folks who can do that! https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241743721.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
I truly don& #39;t know how @RuthBrownNews does it -- she& #39;s keeping at it on her normal breaking news and criminal justice beats all while managing our daily roundups of COVID-19 info. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article241675476.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/loca...
. @michaellycklama is keeping local readers updated up to the minute on school news while ALSO writing the sports stories you love him for: https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241751076.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
You& #39;ve probably read @ByRachelRoberts& #39; recent work on -- well, pretty much everything. It parses out the most important details and keeps our readers informed. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241761441.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
Thank god for @michaeldeeds, a man somehow combining critical information with desperately needed levity: https://www.idahostatesman.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/words-deeds/article241745756.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/entertain...
. @MaddieCapron is out here breaking news on a national scale and making sure readers across the country know what& #39;s going on. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241667816.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coro...
. @Ron_BroncoBeat is making sure readers are informed no matter the section of the paper they& #39;re reading. Find a better marriage of standard beats and COVID news! https://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/college/mountain-west/boise-state-university/boise-state-football/article241635416.html">https://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/co...
The @Statesman_photo team is making sure our stories are still beautiful. The reporters are making sure they’re informative. The editors are making sure they make sense.
What a wonderful, talented, brave, smart, charismatic group of people. I love them so much.
