“After deliberate consideration of Christa Gail Pike’s request for clemency, and after a thorough review of the case, I am upholding the sentence of the State of Tennessee and do not plan to intervene.”

Did you know you can browse emergency alerts from across the U.S.?

IPAWS is the system behind EAS and wireless emergency alerts — it's public, but usually hidden. This site is browsable and free.

In a world with so much being posted, statements being released, and alerts issued -- this helps separate the important from the irrelevant.

Are you spending too much time refreshing your inbox or checking social media for alerts/statements/press releases/pool reports/etc?

I'm a former TV news producer, and I want to share Forth Pro. It is new tool for monitoring all of those sources, from a growing library of 100s of mailing lists, alert sources, and social accounts.

It looks like the old Tweetdeck, and you can choose from various sources to pull in -- White House Press Pool, press lists from senators, Emergency Alerts sent to phones across the US, various federal, state, and local government agencies and officials, and more.

It can send notifications about these -- with filters -- to email, Slack, push notifications, and keeps each message in a searchable archive for when you need it.

Check it out -- let me know what you think. I hope it frees you up to do more interesting, impactful journalism.

Hello all --

Want to share a new project I just launched. (https://pro.forth.news)

Forth Pro is a platform to monitor and be alerted to newsworthy primary sources' updates, as soon as they happen.

Your success hinges on your ability to react quickly to external events. Speed and reliability are paramount, when you need to get ahead of a story, respond to a new regulation or policy, or prepare for natural disasters.

To confidently know first, you need to hear it from the source.

Look through news articles covering the top stories; the outlet does not matter.  Not just the headlines, but deep in the article, and look for sourcing.  A big share of these articles will be based around an update that was pushed to reporters in some form of press release, or posted to certain places online for journalists to constantly check.

The problem is that there are too many of these to keep tabs on.  Subscribing to email lists, finding and constantly refreshing webpages – including some that may only have a pertinent update every few weeks or so – is a full time job on its own.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
