Worked on this super fun, super interesting story for @nytimes about women ages 50+ who compete in soccer tournaments all across the country. Many of these women grew up unable to play competitive sports or had to play on the boys teams, missing out on the benefits of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in public schools. You can read a bunch of stories from the amazing people I met at the @usadultsoccer tournament at the link in bio, or pick up a copy of today’s @nytimes ♥️⚽️ Big thanks to Alexandra E. Petri for working on this with me and @esw_viz for the assignment ♥️⚽️

PRINT’S NOT DEAD! So excited to present my new little portfolio newspaper IDK ABOUT THESE TIMES 😈
Over the last year I covered more politics than I ever have and traveled all over the place to do it. To see it all in print, together, BIG, is such a nice feeling. It’s surreal! I’m proud of myself for everything I’ve done so far and I’m excited to figure out what’s next in my photojournalism career. I have a lot of addresses plugged into my send-out spreadsheet already, but please feel free to request one of these! Seriously, don’t be shy, I have a ton and I want to send you one. Just DM me your address and I’ll be sending them all out this week.
A major inspo for this came from @showpaper a dearly missed indie music publication from the 2010s in Brooklyn. If you miss taping newspaper sheets to your cinderblock dorm room, hopefully this helps fill the void. Thank you to @swailstudio for helping actualize this project with some great design work and general brainstorming and editing support ♥️
And another big thanks to @jaysunsilver for helping me with the words aspect of this and for bopping around the country with me to make a lot of these images ♥️
Can’t wait to see these pages in your hands!!

As the hometown newspaper cut staff and TV stations left the Shenandoah Valley town of Winchester, a website appeared touting a new, trusted source of local news.
The Winchester Gazette launched in August 2023 with upbeat promises and an opaque public profile: It said nothing about its owners and declared a no-byline policy, claiming to protect its reporters from undue influence.
For three years, The Gazette has published thousands of stories about crime, government meetings and community events. It boasted of being the first website in the country to call the 2024 presidential election for Donald Trump.
But Winchester leaders from both political parties started to question the site’s transparency and fairness. Who owns the Gazette – as well as the what, when, where and why of it all – became one of the city’s central mysteries.
Journalists Jaysun Silver and Laura Thompson couldn’t resist. They spent days in Winchester, talking with city leaders and residents, and months conducting dozens of interviews and combing through pages of public records.
The story of the Winchester Gazette stirs together city politics, a car-crash-chasing reporter, AI-generated stories, and a trail of corporate documents that lead to one Winchester attorney’s elderly relative in Florida.
It’s a small-city story filled with questions and intrigue – and it could happen in almost any news-starved community in the country.

The Winchester Gazette, a news website covering this city of 28,000 people in the Shenandoah Valley, calls itself “a publication committed to reporting the truth.”
But city leaders, residents, newsmakers and a former reporter say the truth about the Gazette is a mystery.

“Keeping up with Lillie” - my story from the 78th Missouri Photo Workshop (@mophotoworkshop) won The Howard Chapnick Award this weekend at the end of the week long workshop. The award “recognizes a photographer who, with exceptional honesty and integrity, explores and documents an issue or story of great social concern.”
Lillie Filger is a 23 year old homeowner training for her first half marathon while working three jobs that, according to her, don’t even feel like work. She loves what she does and how it immerses her in the Maryville, Mo. community. She coaches softball at Northwest Missouri State University, a sport she grew up playing, she’s a manager at Hype, a protein and energy drink bar, and she bartends at Clear Creek Grill and Bar every Wednesday.
Rain or shine, she rises at 5 a.m. to run a few miles before starting her first job of the day.
Despite her hectic life, Lillie finds time to remember the names of all of her regular customers at all three of her jobs. She expands her community through the interactions she has all day long.
Thank you @lilliefilger for sharing a small part of your life with me and reminding us all that there’s more to everyone’s story. Big thanks to my faculty @alyssamgoodman and MaryAnne Golon for pushing me and coaching me through week, and a huge thanks to everyone at the workshop for teaching me so many lessons I’m still processing. Be sure to check out @jaysunsilver ‘s project “Duty Calls,” as well— this week was made even better by having him there with me.
Big hugs to everyone I met in Maryville, I’ll never forget this amazing experience ♥️♥️♥️
