. @hschuster28 has helped boost @wamu885's news coverage tremendously in 2020. Sadly she and about a dozen other journalists will be let go form WAMU and @DCist the end of the year. I can't imagine what the new year will be like without Hannah. 1/ https://dcist.com/story/20/12/06/virginia-expects-480000-vaccine-doses-by-the-end-of-the-year-covering-most-healthcare-workers/
We're also losing @eberkon, who helped launch WAMU's Affordability Desk. I'm going to miss talking with Eliza about the wide array of economic stories she's covered - recently 
on how the pandemic is affecting year-end fundraising at nonprofits. 2/ https://wamu.org/story/20/11/19/dc-nonprofits-already-strained-are-bracing-for-less-bountiful-holiday-season/

. @nateclaydiller is another great journalist we're losing this month. Like many of our surge staffers, Nathan is one of those who's prolific work has elevated WAMU's news coverage to extraordinary heights. 3/ https://dcist.com/story/20/12/03/local-professional-santas-covid-dc-md-va/
. @VOBOE will also be let go. In her time at WAMU, Victoria has worn many hats, and she's worn them well. Her most recent assignment was with the @GunsReporting project, which ended it's run this year. 4/ https://wamu.org/story/20/09/29/amy-coney-barrett-could-reshape-interpretation-of-the-second-amendment/
Last but certainly not least, we will say goodbye to @nstarobin. As an editor, Naomi has been the leading force behind our expanded evening news coverage as well as providing her decades of news expertise to important stories like . 5/ https://wamu.org/story/20/09/17/wamu-tried-to-oust-di-caro-american-university-stopped-them/

Please join me in elevating these invaluable journalists without whom @wamu885 and @DCist would not have been able to bring you all the news you needed this year. Ask @AmericanU to reconsider letting them go. The loss will be truly devastating to our local news coverage. 6/6
