A truly horrifying story. @UMWallaceHouse does an outstanding job supporting journalists who routinely put their lives on the line to tell the stories that need to be told. Our thoughts are with 2010 Knight-Wallace Fellow Elena Milashina.
Elena Milashina is one of us. She is among the bravest of journalists. She is a friend and beloved colleague. This vicious attack must rally us all. As our dear Elana would tell us, there is work to do. @umichWCED @umichigannews
