I’ve seen The Stringer a few times now, and each time I’ve taken away something else. Why integrity is so vital in our field, - more and more as we descend into a post fact world; about abuse of the power dynamic among local and foreign media workers; and over and over I’m been reminded that truth is our core tenet in journalism, no matter how difficult it is to face sometimes. I’m moved by Nguyen Thanh Nghe, the author of that image, and I recognize that he’s not the only victim of this story. The @viifoundation under director @baomnguyen have made an unflinching and vital film. Thank you. If you feel moved, please consider supporting The VII Foundation and its training programs for emerging visual journalists around the world. Link in @viifoundation bio.

Last night, @orchardstreetrunners hosted 500 athletes who sprinted through the city over a half marathon course, in what was largest ever unsanctioned race in the world.

“For nearly a century, the diamond district has operated with an air of anxious chaos as traders, hustlers and everyday people unload or stock up on jewels and precious metals. But the recent soaring price of gold — $4,267.90 an ounce at the close of market on Friday — along with rising prices of silver and platinum have created a new kind of frenzy on the block.” Writes @dionnesearcey in the @nytimes

Dr. Brendan Carr, today the CEO OF Mount Sinai, one of the largest hospitals in the country, joined the organization in February 2020 where he became the head of the Emergency Department. What timing - a few weeks before the first reported case of Covid-19. Mount Sinai led the charge combatting the virus in the city and the country, and their staffs commitment to our cities denizens saved tens of thousands, at least. With my sincere thanks, respect. He also likes to stop by the bar all his students drink at once a week and buy all their drinks and leave. Dead set legend.
