What has the media, USAT and others, done wrong in covering these events? NYT crawfished on the "no angel" phrase but stood by the overall reporting.

Three questions:

  • What are your favorite or most-used social media tools, and what tools do you see potential in? I'm interested in everything from content-creating tools and apps on your phones to sites you use online and desktop software.

  • Social media is a constantly changing and evolving landscape. How do y'all stay on top of new tools, features and platforms? How do you decide when a platform is one on which WaPo should have an active presence?

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I appreciate all y'all're doing.

And, y'all should give /u/twpinoy a raise. He's crushing it.

How much music do you have recorded around that's not slated for public release? Annnd, since it's an AMA... Any chance we could get one of those songs?

I remember you surprise releasing a few tracks, like Lemon, Balm & Chamomile. You've always been great at engaging with fans online — from surprise release and sneak-peek listening parties to all you're doing on social, it's a really cool way to stay connected with an artist whose work we enjoy
