Two great jobs in local news. The first is at @brooklinenews.bsky.social, expertly edited by @samjmintz.bsky.social and co-founded by my podcast partner/co-author, @ellenclegg.bsky.social. (1/2) brookline.news/wp-content/u...

I believe she's OFD (Originally From Dorchester), which means she knows all the Dunkies AND the parishes.

This was a work of the intrepid Globe Opinion writers and editors of that era: @alexkingsbury.bsky.social @marjoriepritch.bsky.social, Katie Kingsbury, Alan Wirzbicki, and others. Hat tip to editor Brian McGrory, who had to apologize to the Chinese for that dog item because I was away.

Hey @wcvb5.bsky.social -- why are you pretending that this story appeared out of nowhere, or, even worse, that your reporters investigated it? I spent weeks digging through these documents and doing actual reporting for our nonprofit news outlet @brooklinenews.bsky.social

This story leaves out five important words: First reported in Brookline.News. Our editor, Sam Mintz, spent weeks digging into files and records, tapping his deep knowledge of Brookline. There's a fresh quote from the town, but the facts are lifted wholesale from Sam's story.

We wrote a book about this. "What Works in Community News," by @ellenclegg.bsky.social and me, look at nine local news projects around the country, from legacy newspapers to digital startups to TV and radio. whatworks.news/book

My oh my! Check out Glenn Stout & Richard Johnson's book, "Red Sox Century." General Taylor was a shareholder in... Wait for it ... Fenway Realty Co. Olmsted's landscaping made the Fenway neighborhood more attractive.
