The biggest of stories came to the small city of #Butler. Here’s how its newspaper met the moment local #journalism matters. Photographer Morgan Phillips, who stood on a riser in the middle of a field with Trump’s audience that Saturday evening, kept on her feet and kept working, #documenting #history. After #SecretService officers hustled the former president into a waiting car, the people around her turned to shout #vitriol at the #journalists. #TrueGrit apnews.com/article/butler-penn

A #Chinese woman who served 4 years in #prison over her video reports from #Wuhan during the early days of the #pandemic has been released from a #Shanghai prison facility, following more than a week of online speculation about her whereabouts.

Zhang Zhan, 40 years old, was detained & sentenced by a Chinese court in 2020 after #documenting in more than 120 vids how #Covid19 ravaged the city where the #coronavirus was first detected.

Roughly 1,000 #volunteers armed with the #iNaturalist app on their smartphones are #documenting as many #nature species as possible along the #USMexico border in May. Uploading photos to the app helps #identify #plants & #animals & records the coordinates of the location.

The hope is the information could lead to more protections for the region's natural richness, which is overshadowed by news of drug trafficking & migrant smuggling.
