This also happened to me. A staffer tried not once but twice to cut off my interview with a voter who said they thought Biden should step down. They then ushered me and the voter inside because “the Vp is almost here” but the VP did not show up for another 30 minutes.

Some news of the personal kind — Last Monday was my last day with the RJ, and the end of my time in journalism (for now). The past two years have been incredibly challenging, but I’m proud of how much I’ve grown and the work I did.

Real thing said to me tonight: “Are you sure you didn’t get your position [with the RJ] because of how you look?”
This is, and I cannot stress enough, something you should NEVER say to a female (or any gender, for that matter) professional.

Additionally, I had a staffer follow me and record at least three of my interviews. I watched staffers do the same thing to other reporters. Appeared to make at least one of my interviewees nervous.

The Indy gave me my start and without it, I would have never made it to where I am today. The recent news of mass layoffs across the media world have been difficult to stomach — but this is an entirely different kind of devastating. My heart hurts for the Indy & for Nevada.

Regardless of your opinion on Jeff's legacy or reporting, he didn't just "die." He was allegedly stabbed to death in his own front yard by a politician he was reporting on—killed for protecting democracy. You can bet your bottom dollar we're going to lionize a hero like Jeff.

"So...what's it like to work with your dad?"—a question I never thought I'd ask a source, let alone 10+.
