- The takeaways from this survey on Local Visual Journalism by @catchlight-io.bsky.social + Prism Photo really do hit home as someone who works in visuals and local news. The entire published report is a fascinating, if not dire, read. www.catchlight.io/local-visual...
- Loved working on the visual edit of Wesley Lapointe’s photos and videos for this story by Alex Mann on the few public beaches in Anne Arundel county: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...
- How is everyone seriously on one today, I just
- This is a fascinating and earnest attempt to (rightfully) reevaluate the role journalism plays in the collective approach to community — I imagine this will be incredibly tough work, but hoping the Globe shares their experience along the way so we can all learn from it.
- So proud of the @thebaltimorebanner.com photo crew yesterday, doing an amazing job covering the last Preakness at the old Pimlico! www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...
- Honestly, perfect petapixel.com/2025/04/10/a...
- Wild scene tonight at Mother's in Federal Hill for what may be the last Purple Patio - Shannon Pearce's photos are so fun! If you're a Ravens fan, check out @thebaltimorebanner.com's liveblog through the night: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/raven...
- Love the first few hours of a snow day ❄️
- Trying to edit down an entire year’s worth of photos is so hard, but the reward is getting to look back at all the moments, big and small, we got to spend with our communities www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...
- Grateful to get to work with so many amazing photojournalists — staff, freelance, and interns — who are committed to reporting stories with empathy and care 💗
- So proud of @alissazhu.bsky.social & @jessicagallagher.bsky.social for the incredible reporting they put into this story. The 3rd investigative piece after a year+ of work, they dug deep into an addiction recovery program here in Baltimore: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/pu...
- @jessicagallagher.bsky.social worked with such care on photos, spending time to build relationships with all the families and former clients — and it shows: bsky.app/profile/jess...
- PHA Healthcare collects millions of dollars a year to treat hundreds of ppl struggling w/ addiction. Many of its patients have not gotten better. Instead, placed by the company in what are effectively government-funded drug houses, they have relapsed, fallen deeper into addiction and sometimes died.
- The support of the NYT team really made this happen; spend some time with this story today: bsky.app/profile/nyti...
- “I feel so helpless and alone.” In Baltimore, a government-funded drug-treatment program offered free housing, but many patients have relapsed, fallen deeper into addiction and sometimes died, an investigation by The New York Times and The Baltimore Banner found. nyti.ms/3P8Y4nU
- Cleaning up by endless list of bookmarks and figured this was one worth sharing — loved the guides produced by Unit on how to organize! guide.unitworkers.com/6-articles-t...
- I usually do this on Instagram, but for a change of pace, trying it here too: highlighting some of my favorite recent stories by our incredible staff + freelance photographers here at @thebaltimorebanner.com (a thread, if you will)
