This, by the way, is why having local reporters who stick around to keep covering the city year after year matters! I literally just got it in my head that Saka was gung-ho about these restrooms last year and just HAD to take the time to look it up. Support your petty local journalist!

Trump just got fact-checked by Denmark's ambassador in a Zoom speech at the Nordic Innovation Summit in Seattle which i'm covering for @thestranger.com.

On Wednesday, Denmark' s Ambassador to the U.S. clarified that the #Greenland agreement "...Does not provide for any preferential position for U.S. companies...” This was in a live Zoom speech at the Nordic Innovation Summit in Seattle's @nordicmuseum.org in Ballard.

And in another diplomatic understatement after threatened invasions from their so-called ally, Ambassador Sørensen concluded: “I do think you all know that we, we have not found the last two years too easy for the Kingdom of Denmark and our relationship with the United States.”

After a political campaign stop in Alaska Tuesday, Trump claimed a mining boom will result: “Massive Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland.”

Aside from the "our Greenland" bullshit, the post also suggested some kind of resource boon to Americans.

Happy 250th Birthday, USA, and greetings from Seattle.

Have you ever wondered what "off the record" actually means? I'm a reporter at the Associated Press, and today I'm re-reading our 17-page ethics document which covers 99% of journalist ethics and the high standards here at the AP.

I will not blur your face... but I can hide your identity if there's a good reason, even on video.

ap.orgNews values and principles | The Associated PressWe are The Associated Press. We have a long-standing role setting the industry standard for ethics in journalism. It is our job — more than ever before — to report the news accurately and honestly.

Again, here's the link for the full guide if you want to learn more (and get everything in context). www.ap.org/about/news-v...

NO PSEUDONYMS... because we don't make shit up.

Photo editing ethical standards are rooted in the limitations of an analog dark room.

Yes, you can buy my coffee. BUT NOT LUNCH (at least not at Seattle prices).

"When mistakes are made, they must be corrected – fully, quickly, transparently and ungrudgingly."

DATELINES For text stories with datelines, bylines may be used only if the journalist was in the datelined location. If a reporter in the field works with another staffer and both deserve bylines, the name of the staffer in the field normally goes first and a tag line gives each staffer’s location.

"We don’t pay newsmakers for interviews, to take their photographs or to film or record them. We do not provide full lists of questions in advance or allow interview subjects to approve our text or images before publication."

"We must be fair. Whenever we portray someone in a negative light, we must make a real effort to obtain a response from that person."

"Our efforts have been rewarded with trust: More than half the world’s population sees AP news content on any given day."

"We don't misidentify or misrepresent ourselves to get a story. When we seek an interview, we identify ourselves as AP journalists. We balance the newsworthiness of a story with respect for privacy and safety interests when pursuing images."

You can read all 17 pages of the AP's news values and principles on a PDF here. www.ap.org/about/news-v... Or continue on the thread for highlights

I've filed freedom of information requests in many states and at the federal level. I'm new to WA and was sad to learn it's one of the "we'll give you your records when we feel like it" states, much like NY and AZ. NM, TX, FL are more responsive and often have actual deadlines.
