North Korea has launched 23 missiles this year but this morning one flew over Japan, triggering warnings in Hokkaido and Aomori for residents to seek shelter. MoD says it has landed in Pacific Ocean. First time such warnings were issued since 2017

My one year at Civic News Company is marked by contract negotiations because like what my colleague Samantha Smylie said, there is a very clear mismatch between value & practice. #1u #faircontract

Asking for support on behalf of Civic News Guild and our contract negotiations with management Civic News Company. Show Chalkbeat and Votebeat that journalists, story editors and the picture editor (me) deserve a fair contract, sick days, pay that tries to keep up w/ inflation.
