I tried (and failed) to keep up with Jimmy Butler’s coffee consumption at the Miami Grand Prix. We talked about his first Big Face location and his offseason plans.

I also asked him if he still wants to retire in a Heat jersey. For GQ Sports:

Here’s our full-throated defense of outside agitators.

The presence of community members and experienced activists in campus protests is nothing to be ashamed of.

Also as a side note, when I was at Columbia we were discouraged from freelancing and I found this to be a real handicap later. I hope this crop of students is encouraged to view themselves as the professionals they are, and to sell their work for what it's worth.

Can’t believe university kids are protesting, they must be getting paid to do it

One of the most frustrating nights for press access i’ve experienced as a reporter. At Columbia & CCNY, police barricaded public streets for blocks, obstructing journalists from seeing what was happening even from a distance. A policy of exclusion cheered on by Eric Adams’ staff

Shortly before 3:30 a.m., four Daily Bruin reporters were walking on campus when they were followed and then assaulted.

In 40 years, Columbia will probably preserve transcripts of these WKCR broadcasts as a testament to the school's 'rich tradition of activism'

Our team of 18 student volunteers is immensely proud to be providing this coverage to the Columbia community, NYC, and the world at large. We are incredibly appreciative of your support and understanding.
