Hundreds are dead and thousands are displaced in the recent Wayanad landslides. But it seems this could have been avoided. My colleague Amita George and I produced a video report on how the district administration was alerted of a landslide 16 hours before it happened and yet failed to take proper initiative to evacuate people. We interviewed two experts directly related to the news and what we found out was shocking. #wayanadlandslides #exclusive #journalism #reportage #videojournalism #interview #keralanews Check out the full video here:

CALL FOR PITCHES // We’re looking for a reported, solutions-focused story for our Summer/Fall 2025 issue of Light & Seed magazine, which will focus on the economic impact of National Forests and Grasslands. Specifically, we’re seeking pitches for The Response, a department that uses the four pillars of solutions journalism to investigate how people are responding to an issue of national importance. The solution should be on the cusp of real-world application: it’s shown promise, is actively working through its limitations, and could very soon have an impact.  Specs: 1,000 words, $1,000. Pitches due Nov 20.   Details: https://lnkd.in/eMGrDtzk   📷 : Chugach National Forest, Alaska by Nina Ritchie

Happy Friday, and to heck with hurricanes! For everyone dealing with this, prayers up for you. All I can tell you is that this is twice in as many months that a hurricane/tropical depression has affected the piedmont of N.C., and that’s not common in my tender 45 years. It’s not all bad news though, from my desk this past week: ·        ILMA time! - Excitedly, my wife and I will be first timers at ILMA, bringing KAJO North America to the event. Very excited to learn, network, and celebrate our great industry. ·        Port Strike – I posted a link with hope last week, but now this seems an inevitability. The economic disruption this causes, from even a single day, is staggering ($5 billion per day, per JP Morgan). ·        Safer USA – violent crime fell 3% from 2022 to 2023. Largest drop in 20 years. Always welcome to read! ·        Navistar no more – rebranding time! On Oct. 1 Navistar will be known as International Motors, Inc. Wise move? Kudos for boldness. ·        Article of note – great piece from Precision Lubrication on accuracy vs. consistency: Particle Counting in Condition Monitoring - Managing Expectations (precisionlubrication.com) ·        One K store closes, another opens – Kmart closed its final store this week. I remember those K-Mart runs as a kid, I salute you 1980’s! Now, another K store has opened, KAJO North America! On our store aisles you’ll find different varieties of bio-lubricants, conventional lubricants, products that your customer needs, and the ability to move fast for you. KAJO: Lubricants made in Germany, now proudly invested in North America. Say a prayer for those affected by Helene, otherwise enjoy your weekend!
