Congratulations to the new Nieman Foundation class! ❤️

Qué importantísimo es esto. Yo tengo el cuerpo roto de tanto true crime, no me quiero imaginar cómo lo tienen las víctimas.

The The Harvard Crimson, per usual, is doing *fantastic* coverage of the pro-Palestinian campus protests — much better than many national news organizations. I encourage folks to check out their live blog: thecrimson.com/article/2024/4…

Last week Errol Morris came to the Nieman Foundation to talk to us about his work. Moderating this conversation was surreal (I watched & wrote about his films college!) and exciting and challenging, all at once. Very grateful for this year and for doing things I never imagined doing.

Many rejections and heartaches later, it's Pub Day for 'Truth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow'! My pal Robin Young breaks down my many failures, bad sex scenes, and how only mercy gets you to the darkest part of the map...

One of the best things about the Nieman Foundation year has been to write again, under the guidance of Steve Almond. Today, he is publishing 'Truth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow.' Get yourselves a copy and happy pub day, Steve! amazon.com/Truth-Arrow-Me…

Boston bus lanes & bus stops meant to make transit faster than driving and boarding seamless for riders are constantly blocked by cars.

Bus mounted cameras are tackling this in other cities, but remain outlawed here. The Legislature may soon change that. bostonglobe.com/2024/03/26/met…

Phil Eng envisions a future where taking the T is a no-brainer, and not just for commuting. Trying a new restaurant, visiting a friend across town? In Eng’s fantasy, you’ll obviously take the T: It will be better.

He’s got a long way to go. bostonglobe.com/2023/07/08/met…

Tras dos años de investigación y escritura, cuando estaba listo para imprimir, Editorial Planeta decidió no publicar mi libro ‘La Costa Nostra’ (historia no oficial del clan Char).

Hago pública esta historia porque para mí el silencio no es una opción.

For the The Guardian, I wrote about a polarizing new NC neighborhood, 1776 Gastonia, built for ‘patriots.’

With ambiguous ideals and an insistence on a disinterest in politics, the 1776 brand builds off the contentious history of the US flag.
