It is always such an honor to see the top selection each year for this New England award. This was an incredible investigation into police misconduct in Maine.

I have know Dr. Morgan for many years and this is a great interview.

Dr. Charles Morgan, of Yale’s psychiatry department, unpacks mental challenges police officers may face making split-second life and death decisions. “When you are under stress and under this threat, you no longer have the part of your brain where you do critical thinking."



(Psst. Chris -- I agree. Josh is among the best, but don't tell anyone. You don't want to lose him!)

As a one-time SID, I have a particular appreciation for the multi-talented Josh Kessler - we are so fortunate to have him directing SMC's Athletic Communications. He's as dedicated and student-centered as they come. Thank you for all you do, Josh! #ThankYourSID #SIDsMakeItHappen

Thanks Justin. A wonderful note and yes, the coverage must continue through January -- or even more.


Wonderful group of Vermont journalists had great questions for Lia and me during the 10th annual New England First Amendment Institute training on Vermont's Open Gov't Laws. #vtpoli #btv

Read the letter from our Editor-in-Chief about how @uvmvermont has left important student voices out of a process that poses a huge risk for the First Amendment across #UVM's campus vtcynic.com/opinion/letter…

A glimpse into the lived experience of the @VermontCynic newsroom as #UVM imposes its will on an independent student news source. Give it a read if you can. #btv #vtpoli vtcynic.com/opinion/letter…



Glad former WPTZ-TV newsman Ted Wayman is on the mend after being stabbed in Boston while on the job for WCVB-TV. Class act gone from Vermont, but still remembered. Wishing quick recovery. #vt


Sorry Jenny I did not see this earlier. It was fun doing the training for the TV reporters in Texas today. I am hearing good things about your work since you left Vermont. Keep up the good work.

@FreepsMikeD I’ll be on the call tomorrow morning! Looking forward to it. Miss you! - Scoop ;)



Police accountability and transparency are both needed across New England.

This is an extraordinary opportunity for any journalist -- with 2 or 52 years of experience -- to learn the best about interviewing, public records, investigative work and more. This year you can do it from home. Tonight is the deadline.

Always amazing to see pics of the NY Giants at St. Michael's College for pre-season football practice. Always fun to watch.

Awesome photos! Is that Vince Lombardi in black shorts, white t-shirt and red ball cap @KevG163? cc @smcathletics @FreepsMikeD @Giants



Congrats Darren. Keep going for another 25.

25 years goes by fast! Thank you all for the kind messages, cards & calls over the last couple of weeks. I am so grateful. And to my former colleagues who took the time to send these messages to @wcax, I miss and love you all.... (1)



Not just cool to remember on Father's Day, but one of the all-time coolest feats among all sports. Unfortunately the Griffeys hit them off former Vermont star baseball and hockey player Kirk McCaskill pitching for the Angels in 1990.

On this Father's Day, let's remember the time Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. hit back-to-back homers for the Mariners. Because that really happened.



Great win for public transparency.
