Recently, I commented on a Tampa Police Department Facebook post, and that post was removed or hidden. That's ILLEGAL. So, I did a records request to find out who at TPD was breaking the law. This is their response:

Hi folks, with the injustice arises and suppression of freedom of press in Hong Kong, what kind of new media or ideas would you suggest to start with?
Any kind of books recommend for me to read? Video about citizen journalism?
p.s. the only pro-democracy paper has been shut down a week ago and people do not know which paper to read anymore, any tips would be helpful thanks!

Looking for help starting a local news website
During the last few years, I have been operating as a citizen journalist covering news and events in my home area of central Michigan. This summer, I decided to expand out into an independent website which I've called The Mid Michigan Journal. I need some help as I try to get it going. I was wondering if there was anybody who might be interested in volunteering some of their time or just allow me to pick their brains on the best strategies to use as I grow my website.
You can reach me via Reddit. I also have a sub reddit started at /r/MidMichiganJournal. The website itself can be found at r/http://www.midmichiganjournal.com. Thanks!

Invitation to analyze a database of Trump administration appointees and their past
(Please note: this is my first time posting here; if you feel that there is a better place to make this kind of journalistic crowdsourcing request, please let me know.)
If you listen to the WNYC podcast "Trump, Inc" podcast, you may have heard about ProPublica's Trump Town database.
This is a database of 2600+ (and growing) Trump appointees along with their employment history. Trump, Inc. and ProPublica invite anyone to browse through these records in order to find interesting data. This ProPublica page gives some ideas of what might constitute "interesting" data. ProPublica will credit you for any information you may find, but you can also report your findings anonymously to the Trump, Inc podcast.
I'm not affiliated with WNYC, nor with ProPublica, but I do find this an interesting project to invest some time in. How about you?
