I spoke with @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social much later in the day than we normally chat, and on television, about the exclusive NPR investigation into the Epstein files that aired on tonight’s Amanpour & Co. on @pbs.org.
Any aspiring journalists out there ? A lot of the news about the business is bleak. Times are tough; It's hard right now ..but anything worth doing is usually hard. just some thoughts I had when I co hosted #dupont2026 with the great Scott Pelley

I was honored to co host #dupoint2026 alongside the great @cbsnews.com correspondent Scott Pelley. Before the ceremony I was asked why does journalism still matter

At #dupont2026 I was asked how I feel about journalism prizes

Apologies --most Washington thing ever --quoting myself --but thought I'd share this gentle reminder from #dupont2026 Despite all of our travails...journalism is fun...

Given how unbalanced the current public dialogue about cannabis is. I think her take is more than justified . Also, she was not saying cannabis has no benefit . She said there is just too little information about appropriate dosing as well as risks and benefits to different populations.
Yes because tens of millions of dollars (if not more ) are being spent to tout the purported benefits . Here's a credible , non commercial voice giving additional perspective.
Dinner last week at #GoldenGlobes ..Dinner tonight Chez Martin #BacktoRealLife
Last week ..this week ...still got the fancy nails though !
#GoldenGlobes adventure over ...back to my real life. This time tomorrow on @npr.org Morning Edition ?
Ok so let me just say it. We were conflicted - should we be here or ...elsewhere. We decided that it was important to let everyone know that @npr.org is still here, still doing work. Thanks to those holding down the fort all over the world. We're back at it tomorrow
They feed you at this thing ...I'm so relieved
And we made it ....now it's just waiting ...
See we had people here too ....
This is apparently me on the red carpet . Trying to act like I do this all the time....I don't ....
There's a long row of booths for different media outlets ...
They close off the street where the event is taking place ...that's so crazy ...
Here we go ....
On our way to #GoldenGlobes....whatever happens ...It was a moment ...hanging out with my fellow hosts ....and producers...
#goldenglobes prep .. we shamed them into getting makeup . If we had to, they had to ...#fishoutofwater...
And I'd like to thank my stylist @leilafadel.bsky.social who helped me pick my dress and lent me her earrings ....
Ok this is it . Day 4 #GoldenGlobes fit check !
Day 4 #GoldenGlobes challenge is actually logistics: the show starts at 5 pm & we have to get there super early..then two of us have to leave at some point to get ready for OUR show at 3:00 am PST Monday and two of us have to get back to DC to host our show on Tuesday..
Fit check Day 3 #GoldenGlobes . Yo can't be in any city with an NPR station and not drop by so we're al heading over to NPR West --our west coast offices --to meet and greet the team we work with but don't get to see (unless you're A Martinez or Ailsa Chang of course !
We're pretending like we get dressed up like this all the time ...we don't .
#GoldenGlobes Day2...
So all four of us finally made it to LA....20 hour day for Leila and me yesterday ...20 hour day for A and Steve today ...this is a party at the Beverly Hills hotel ...
#GoldenGlobes Day 2 @cnn.com & @variety.com invited us to this party ...
#GoldenGlobes Day 2 of the NPR hillbillies in Beverly Hills. With thanks to my stylist (!) cohost Leila Fadel who helped me pick my dress !
Ok so I have read about Hollywood gift bags/goodie bags but had never seen one. This had a lot of "wellness" things--bone broth, stuff you put in water to feel better, things to put on your face to look better ..not gonna lie, I don't really know how to use these items. #fishoitofwater #goldenglobes
