- I’ll be making news apps to help readers understand large and complex datasets while keeping powerful institutions accountable. Excited to dig into investigative work.

- Texas colleges would be required to submit compliance reports and they don’t fix a violation within 180 days, they would be ineligible for future funding increases. via @jessicapriest.bsky.social @snehadey.bsky.social
- this piece also never truly makes the case as to why the Star-Ledger was great in its heyday other than high circulation and staffing numbers + namedropping some reporters. Why were they so great? What stories did they publish? Why waste half the article ranting about how much the SL sucks now?

- A really smart story from @serranoalej.bsky.social: A 2006 study found undocumented immigrants contributed more to Texas than they cost the state. The state hasn’t updated the analysis since. www.texastribune.org/2024/12/06/t...
