Why do some missing persons get all the resources the richest country in the world can offer and some get labeled as teen runaways?
The most brutal stories I've ever covered were about people you that rarely make it into the "mainstream media": missing indigenous girls.

Things I heard from a childhood friend who got vaxxed in Brazil today:
- getting the vaccine in Bolsonaro's Brazil is a feat
- people are crying and overcome with emotion
- months of preparation went into this moment
- a victory in years of despair
- it's so significant

Hi, I went to a *Canadian* school that no one ever heard of in the U.S. and it was all my family & I could afford. I was lucky I had a prof with connections to major news companies and pestered him to introduce me when I moved south 1/2
Last note: This industry shouldn’t make folks feel ashamed of their school. The school you attend has a lot to do with your financial status. Your financial status has a lot to do with your background. Your background is what makes you who you are.

The world is collectively grieving right now, and journalists are working tirelessly to keep the public informed.
This moment of vulnerability is deeply relatable and refreshing to see.
