VERY FIRST story featured in @1a new episode on Ask A Librarian is story of woman who said her daughter's life was saved by a librarian who helped her understand her medical oncology: "It takes a village, and that village includes a librarian" the1a.org/segments/ask-a… @AveryJCK
It is imperative that @SylviaBurwell, Seth Grossman, Erika Pulley-Hayes, and Michael Tribble #UnlockDCist. It’s a matter of democracy. See our letter below. We encourage you to share:
WAMU management and @AmericanU, which owns our license, has let us and you — our listeners, readers, and members — down. They have failed to steward the service we all rely on. We know the journalism industry is struggling, but poor leadership has led us to this moment.
This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.
Thank you listeners and readers for your support. We don’t know what will happen at this morning's meeting. But we will keep the public informed. That’s what we do. ✊ #WeMakeWAMU. #WeReadWAMU

I will not be on the air on WAMU Friday. Follow @WeMakeWAMU if you aren’t already.
For no reason at all, I'm starting a thread of all the DCist/WAMU stories that have stuck with you and helped you make sense of the city. I'll start. Read @amanduhgomez on why some Black business owners on H St. NE say they're facing discrimination (dcist.com/story/23/09/11…)
When my investigation came out in VICE, Minnesota was one of the very few prominent DJs to not obscurely allude to the allegations against Bassnectar - but actually refer to them directly, share the reporting, and denounce predatory behavior in the bass music scene.

I've been following @nathanwpyle's comics for years. I'm so excited to have him answer my questions (and yours) on @1a at 11:20 am ET. What should we ask him on air? Listen live here: the1a.org/segments/stran…
Hanging out off Twitter for the time being, but I'm still doing my journalism thing! Check me out: averyjessachapnick.journoportfolio.com
I got all these people to talk books on the radio today! (basically my dream come true). the1a.org/segments/the-1…
This was a very hard podcast to listen to - but an important one. Very glad to help showcase this investigative work.
SEEKING STORIES. If you're a woman serving in the military, @1a wants to add YOUR voice to tomorrow's show. Leave a voicemail: 855-236-1212. How has your gender impacted your experience? And 10 years after women were *officially allowed to serve in combat, what's changed?
The Czech Republic was into darkness retreats ("terapie tmou") before they were cool (in the US). Thanks to @AveryJCK and the team at 1A for inviting me to recount my own "dark night of the soul."

In the name of history, journalism, and common decency, @wamu885 and @AmericanU must #UnlockDCist
Just noticed if you go to WAMU's Donate page, all three incentive gifts are branded with local-news products the station discontinued: - "What's With Washington" podcast socks - DCist squirrel mug - WAMU/DCist umbrella
Something I loved about working in the @wamu885 / @DCist newsroom was the dedication of my colleagues to get to the heart of the matter in their work, making clear what was at stake. They do it again here. Plainly, democracy is at stake. This is not difficult. #UnlockDCist now.
It is imperative that @SylviaBurwell, Seth Grossman, Erika Pulley-Hayes, and Michael Tribble #UnlockDCist. It’s a matter of democracy. See our letter below. We encourage you to share:
WAMU reporters and I will be back on air tomorrow morning. We're still reeling from losing our colleagues and the end of DCist. Thank you to everyone who showed us support since Friday. We remain committed to serving the region and fighting to #UnlockDCist
WAMU Morning Edition and All Things Considered newscasts return tomorrow. Know that my colleagues and I have wanted to deliver local news to you because that's our job. We are also still reeling from the shutdown of DCist and layoffs. Thanks for the support <3 #unlockDCist
I've been listening to the first hour of Morning Edition on @wamu885... and there's absolutely no local news, much like yesterday. It's a disservice to the listening public in the Washington region, and they have the right to know what happened to their "local" NPR station.
Spent my first unemployed afternoon volunteering to pull invasive vines in a DC park. Grateful to @wamu885 for laying me off in time to spend time outside in this beautiful late winter weather.
One of my colleagues got a notice he was being laid off today and was booted out of the system within 10 minutes. He was in the middle of finishing up graphics for a doc that will air in a few weeks. We were gchatting with him about edits, and then he was gone.
Still reeling at the enormous and unnecessary cruelty of completely erasing decades of D.C. history by wiping the entire DCist archive off the face of the internet. We should be able to access our clips and you (readers) should be able to look back on that historical record
We should have been the ones to break this news, not Axios who didn’t reach out to any fellow journalist for input and still got some of the framing wrong
Got mad thinking about this, but @DCist didn’t even get a proper send off. Had there have been a conversation with staff, we could have actually made content to commemorate it’s time, bring in old editors to talk about its eras, but they didn’t respect that platform
I’ve been laid off from my job covering criminal justice at @wamu885/ @DCist. Thank you to all of the DMV residents who trusted me with your stories. It was an honor and I felt like I was just getting started. Please support my colleagues at @WeMakeWAMU
📢@axios: DC IS NOT A TRANSIENT CITY. This is a thing that constantly gets repeated w/ no evidence by people who equate DC with Capitol Hill (or pretending EoTR isn’t DC) . A 2017 study didn’t even have DC in the top 25. 2021 study didn’t have us in top 15. @cuneytdil
How management's so-called focus on audio is going over at @wamu885: I'm listening to Morning Edition, and there is not one local news story. How exactly is this building trust with the audience?
Not just for my work (though I'd like 3 years of bylines back please...) but because this is a historical archive and D.C. readers deserve it
Adding a section for the college freelancing course I teach on how to archive your work if a site you have bylines on shuts down but would also like it if AU would #unlockdcist
The process: 1. The public gave money to @wamu885, a public media organization owned by @AmericanU 2. The money was to support the creation of journalism that would be made available for free to the public 3. Management of WAMU says that journalism cannot be accessed by anyone
A public media entity owned by a university is currently making years of local journalism archives inaccessible. Did @AmericanU leadership approve of @wamu885 management's decision to make formerly public information impossible to access?
