This #GivingNewsDay, here’s a look at the power of a nonprofit newsroom in 2021. 🧵
In February, @darakerr found Postmates couriers were the targets of a phishing scam that drained multiple workers of their earnings.

After publication, the workers we interviewed were reimbursed for their lost earnings. themarkup.org/working-for-an…
In March, an investigation from @ToddFeathers revealed that school-advising software was using race as a predictor of how likely students were to succeed.

Texas A&M stopped using the risk scoring feature of the software following our reporting.

I've started this thread over and over again, trying to put into words what I've seen in 2020 through my work at Chalkbeat because I feel like some people still don't get it.

But I think it's better to show you.
I've seen a virus that was ugly from the outset in more ways than one. chalkbeat.org/2020/3/12/2117…
I've seen my team pull off an impossible collaboration that told the stories — your stories — of a day without school. A preview of only what was yet to come. chalkbeat.org/2020/3/17/2119…

What the fuck. Jacksonville is losing its alt-weekly. I am very sorry to see this.
So a city of about 1 million people - the largest city by area in the contiguous U.S. - has no alt-weekly (which has played an important role in the local journalism ecosystem) and one newspaper greatly diminished in staff - with about a dozen reporters and two photographers.
Happy #givingnewsday or whatever.

Hey, it's #GivingTuesday!

What could a donation to our new Investigative Journalism Fund mean for local reporting?

Your support would nearly *double* the size of our investigative team — helping us keep more folks in power accountable. 👇

miamiherald.com/site-services/…
Our goal is to raise $1.5 million for reporting efforts spread over three years.

That means adding:
• two full-time reporters
• a data visualization specialist
• a videographer
• an editor to our existing team
miamiherald.com/news/local/new…
We'll launch the Miami Herald Investigative Journalism Fund when we reach $500,000 in support.

On #GivingTuesday (and #GivingNewsDay), help us do more of what we do best — investigative journalism.

Donate here: give.miamifoundation.org/givenow?fid=ka…

1/ On this #GivingTuesday (or #GivingNewsDay), we’ll let our members do the talking. Why? Simply put: They’re the best. Their support has gotten us to 10 years. Today, we’re hoping you’ll join us for our next decade of nonprofit, nonpartisan news. trib.it/Gm4
2/ As Lance puts it, "This is too important not to be members." We agree with that even more than usual because today we have $20,000 in matching funds from @NewsMatch on the line! Donate by midnight to help us secure the full match: trib.it/Gm4
@NewsMatch 3/ Holding elected officials accountable is our top job. Like Anthony said, and as anyone who's ever met him knows, @evanasmith does not allow half steps. That's why we always say what we mean — and mean what we say, especially on #GivingTuesday Join us: trib.it/Gm4

1/ Our investigations this year have exposed modern-day redlining, indentured servitude in rehabs, migrant kids being drugged and more (below 👇👇).

It takes community support. On this #GivingNewsDay, help us continue to tell important stories. bit.ly/2P1Uzhx
2/ @eman_thedataman and @Aaron_Glantz’s reporting on modern-day redlining spurred investigations and put the new Fed Chair in the hot seat. revealnews.org/article/for-pe…
3/ When @cynduja asked tech’s heavy hitters for their raw diversity numbers, some claimed the data was proprietary.

We sued for the info, and the government recently took our side. revealnews.org/article/heres-…

1/ In celebration of #GivingNewsDay — a shoutout to our current ProPublica donors. You all make it possible for us to do the kind of reporting that rights wrongs: propub.li/2DXSAdf
If you’re not already a ProPublican, here's how to become one: propub.li/2E3a5Zm
2/ In June, we published audio of children who’d just been separated from their parents. Within days, President Donald Trump signed an executive order reversing his policy of family separations at the border.

propub.li/2ArNj9n
3/ BTW, we are NOT done investigating family separations. @ProPublicaIL looked at the 99 immigrant children being held in the Chicagoland area, and @gingerthomp1 continues to follow the story. propub.li/2Axn7tY
