Congrats on your retirement, Mike. We are going to miss you! @WhitReporter

Wishing the best to colleague Mike Sprague @WhitReporter as he steps away from his keyboard to begin a new life chapter. "A man of unrivaled experience and commitment when it comes to the Whittier area and the San Gabriel Valley," said executive editor @fpine. @WhittierNews

If you don’t subscribe to our newspapers, here’s a cheap way to do so, online-only! (If all you ever read is my columns, and I write my usual 150 or so in a year, that’s less than 7 cents each. But surely you would read more of our stories than that.) enews.email.langnews.com/q/O_2Od-1sLS6n…

Very proud of the series we put together for the 10-year anniversary of San Bernardino filing for bankruptcy. Glad we were able to tell this story in a fresh, engaging way. Great work all around by @SoCalNewsGroup on such an ambitious project.

Hey now, that's a happy surprise on this Wednesday! (Btw, doesn't the recall feel like it was three years ago?) Thanks to everyone who spoke to me for these stories, and to @immouch for edits. Pretty cool that we sandwiched this category! Link in 🧵 to the recognized stories.

A few days after publishing my first story on Bay Area COVID fines, a florist I profiled told me someone came into her shop and handed her $350 to cover her fine. It’s an amazing feeling getting recognized for this work, but impact like that is what really keeps me coming back.

This week is the 4th anniversary of Festival Pass. I started this little newsletter thinking that maybe people who read our #Coachella coverage might be interested in having it sent to them and reading about other festivals.@watcharaphotog's photo from 2017 topped the first one!

How serious is the new COVID wave? Worse than we know, it seems: 'Underreporting, driven by changes in testing behavior, lack of public interest and severely underfunded local public health departments, create a perfect storm of misleading case counts and hospitalizations.'

The regular reminder for would-be elected officials: When the registrar of voters asks for your contact information for journalists to use, it's not a trick. It's how we reach you to set up interviews, which you want, especially as a newcomer with no name recognition or money.

Thank you, @LBY3!

Today marks nine years with the Los Angeles News Group, now known as @SoCalNewsGroup. I've worked with some amazing people, done work I'm proud of and hope I've made a difference. Thanks for the shot (and putting up with the subsequent headaches), @fpine.
