To the Gazette readers wondering where I am: I& #39;m sorry to say the paper fired me this morning. You& #39;ll hear more from me soon. If you want to support me, buy my books or subscribe to my newsletter https://lyz.substack.com/ ">https://lyz.substack.com/">...
But in the meantime, here is some of the work I did (thread). I broke the story on Ashton Kutcher& #39;s failed non-profit that paid more in executive compensation than it gave to Iowans. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/staff-columnist/ashton-kutcher-dallas-clark-kyle-mccann-iowa-native-fund-kinnick-concert-loss-20191213">https://www.thegazette.com/subject/o...
I wrote the definitive profile on how tech bros from Utah came to lead Iowa& #39;s failed testing endeavor. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/staff-columnist/how-a-utah-tech-bro-came-to-lead-utah-iowa-and-nebraskas-covid-19-testing-20200424">https://www.thegazette.com/subject/o...
I wrote many many articles about test Iowa and had sources inside the lab, which not many other journalists had. And I& #39;m proud of that work. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/staff-columnist/unusable-tests-results-plague-test-iowa-20200626">https://www.thegazette.com/subject/o...
Also, during the caucuses. My stories were cited in multiple national news outlets. Specifically this one. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/staff-columnist/how-do-you-caucus-with-a-baby-20200128">https://www.thegazette.com/subject/o...
I could tweet every column. But I won& #39;t. But my work highlighting the obfuscation coming from the governor& #39;s mansion, I know helped bring a lot of light and attention to the gaslighting that& #39;s killing Iowans. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/opinion/staff-columnist/everything-kim-reynolds-isnt-telling-us-20200718">https://www.thegazette.com/subject/o...
Okay that& #39;s it for now.
Wait one more thing. My actual colleagues were the best and I want you all know that.
Well, last note. Please remember that a candidate for congress Mariannette Miller-Meeks appeared on stage with a white supremacist. https://www.thegazette.com/the-reality-of-post-steve-king-iowa-20200610">https://www.thegazette.com/the-reali...
