At #LoganSymposium2025's panel on reporting on immigration, Lawyer Nicholas Espiritu: "It's important to understand that this is not about people who follow the rules and people who don’t follow the rules. It’s about reshaping the face of this country." #investigativejournalism #immigration

At #LoganSymposium2025: "In my mind, one of the most important stories is this administration that is sliding toward autocracy. They mix daily their personal efforts to make money w/ politics." — WSJ's Christopher S. Stewart on panel w/ Bloomberg, AP, NYT, Wash Post, ProPublica + NPR journalists.

At the #LoganSymposium2025 at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, w/300+ journalists focused on meeting the moment and holding power accountable. @davidbarstow.bsky.social said: "We are one of the few remaining challenges that exist right now. It’s really resting intensely on us to do our damn jobs."
