  • Updates to AP’s News leadership


    In a memo to staff on Wednesday, Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Julie Pace announced updates to AP’s News leadership:

    Our priority in News this year is accelerating our digital transformation to ensure AP’s world class journalism remains essential for our customers and reaches new audiences around the world. This requires us to embrace new forms of digital storytelling, use data to drive our decision-making around coverage and investments, and pursue new ways to financially support our journalism.

    I’m excited to announce a few changes in News leadership to support these priorities.

    Michael Giarrusso is our new Vice President of News Strategy. Michael is one of AP’s most experienced and creative leaders, and a true champion for digital journalism. In this role, Michael will work with teams across News – as well as in Revenue and Technology – to identify distinctively AP journalism that can be packaged and promoted in ways that engage our customers’ digital audiences, as well as our own audience on APNews. He’ll also serve as the key liaison in News to the AP Fund for Journalism – our sister philanthropic organization – to support APFJ’s work raising funds to bolster state and local news in the United States, as well as other topical grant funding to underpin our journalism.

    Michael brings to this role deep experience on both of these strategic priorities. In his most recent role leading newsgathering for our Global Beats teams, he has overseen the development of our audience-friendly Be Well and personal finance coverage, our engaging livestream shows from red carpets and the 2024 solar eclipse, and a new, streamlined approach to covering sports games. Michael has also overseen AP’s largest grant-funded teams – including Health and Science, Religion and Climate – and been instrumental in ensuring philanthropic dollars are available to support coverage across the News division. 

    Michael joined AP as an intern in Atlanta in 1992 and has held a variety of roles across both News and Revenue, including an 8-year stint as Global Sports editor. He is also a co-founder, along with Amanda Barrett and Julie March, of AP’s Inclusion Champions program and a leading advocate for newsroom diversity, both inside and outside of AP. 

    Michael’s team will include:

    Corinne Chin, director of News Talent for Recruitment. Corinne has been a leader at AP in recognizing both internal and external talent, and ensuring that our approach to staffing is aligned with our strategic goals as an organization. That includes expanding the ranks of our visual journalists and ensuring that diversity is a priority in hiring and promotion.

    Jessica Gresko will lead our strategy work with The Associated Press Foundation for Journalism to bolster grant funded services for state and local newsrooms in the U.S. This builds on the strong work Jessica has done with our topical grants, as well as her leadership last year connecting non-profit newsrooms in the U.S. with AP coverage of the 2024 election.

    Steven Sloan will take on a year-long assignment leading strategy for grant funded content from the U.S. as we look to expand our work with non-profit newsrooms and other digital outlets. This work will build on Steven’s successful leadership of U.S. elections coverage through multiple cycles – including the 2024 election, where our digitally optimized content drove record traffic on APNews.

    Please join me in congratulating Michael and his team.

  • Internet, phone service restored at APS more than week after outage


    AURORA, Colo. — Internet and phone service has been restored across Aurora Public Schools, though some connectivity issues remain more than week after the district-wide outage caused concern due to “potential suspicious activity” within the district’s network.

    Though service is restored, there “may be some connectivity issues in specific buildings, which we will continue to troubleshoot,” said Aurora Public Schools spokesman Corey Christiansen, who added the district is still dealing with unresponsive programs that their technology team is working quickly to address.

    “We want to emphasize that safety is our top priority. We have many safety measures in place at our schools and our staff utilize numerous tools and methods to keep our students and staff safe,” he said.

    Internet and phone issues continue at Aurora Public Schools

    The outage, which Denver7 reported on Jan. 14, still remains under investigation after Christiansen initially said the district noticed “potential suspicious activity within our network.”

    APS continues to work with third-party experts and partners “to investigate the cause of the suspicious activity that prompted us to shut down our network,” he said, adding the district will send another release once they’re able to determine who or what was behind the suspicious activity.

    “We acknowledge that many of our staff and community members may feel frustrated. It has been a challenging time and has required staff and students to pivot and change in many new ways,” Christiansen said, alluding to a two-hour delayed start the district was forced to implement last week because of the outage.

    Coloradans making a difference | Denver7 featured videos


    Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what’s right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.





    After more than a week of disrupted service, internet and phone service has been restored at APS. The outage, which began on [date], left employees and customers struggling to stay connected and impacted operations across the company.

    APS officials worked tirelessly to address the issue and restore service as quickly as possible. The outage, which was caused by [reason for outage], highlighted the importance of reliable communication systems in today’s digital age.

    With service now restored, APS employees and customers can once again rely on the internet and phone systems to conduct business, communicate with one another, and access important information.

    We appreciate the patience and understanding of everyone affected by the outage, and we are committed to ensuring that similar disruptions are minimized in the future. Thank you for your continued support as we work to provide the best possible service to our employees and customers.

  • Takeaways from AP’s reporting on Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person elected to Congress

    Takeaways from AP’s reporting on Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person elected to Congress


    DOVER, Del. (AP) — Sarah McBride made history in Delaware as the first openly transgender state senator in the United States. Now she’s making history again, recently elected as the first openly trans member of Congress.

    Her political promotion has come during a reckoning for transgender rights when legislation in Republican-governed states around the country aims to curb their advance. During an election where a deluge of campaign ads and politicians demeaned trans people, McBride still easily won her blue state’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

    But even before she is sworn in, her reception from congressional Republicans has been tumultuous. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina targeted her by proposing to ban transgender people from U.S. Capitol restrooms that correspond to their gender identity — a ban that House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., enacted.

    McBride tried to defuse the situation, saying she would follow the rules. “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms,” the 34-year-old wrote in a statement.

    Here are other takeaways from AP’s reporting about McBride:

    Early promise and a meteoric rise

    Growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, McBride was the type of child who practiced Democratic political speeches in her bedroom at a makeshift podium. By high school, she had worked on multiple campaigns, including that of Beau Biden, the president’s late son and former Delaware attorney general.

    Though she seemed destined to work in politics, McBride once felt revealing her gender identity would derail those ambitions. She was 21 and the president of American University’s student government when she came out as transgender, first to her friends and family and later in a public post that went viral.

    Says McBride, “Coming out was without question the hardest thing that I had ever done up until that point. And yet it was still relatively easy compared to the experiences of so many people.”

    A supportive family and pastor

    Her parents have been her biggest supporters, but they worried for her. One of their first calls after McBride came out was to their pastor, the Rev. Gregory Knox Jones of Westminster Presbyterian, a progressive church where Sarah was a youth elder and Jill Biden is a member.

    “We talked about the fact that this was your child. You love your child,” Jones recalled. “You can’t think of losing a son. You’ve gained a daughter.”

    David McBride, Sarah’s father, said that kind of support has made all the difference for their family. “Our life and Sarah’s life have been made by the response that we and she got first from our friends, our church, our community.”

    A rapid series of firsts

    McBride would go on to forge a trail through a rapid series of firsts. During college, she became the first openly transgender woman to intern at the White House. At a reception there, she met and later fell in love with a young lawyer, Andrew Cray, a trans man and LGBTQ+ health policy advocate.

    As an activist at 22, McBride was instrumental in helping pass a transgender nondiscrimination law in Delaware. She worked as the spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, a leading LGBTQ-rights group. In 2016, she became the first openly trans person to speak at the Democratic National Convention.

    In the legislature, a hard worker — fueled by coffee

    As a state legislator, McBride was known for her hard work. She rarely stops to eat on busy days, instead subsisting on a steady diet of coffee, heavy on the cream and sweetener.

    Nowhere is her boundless energy more evident than when she talks about the minutiae of policymaking. She likes kitchen table issues: health care, paid family leave, childcare and affordable housing. In the state Senate, she chaired the health committee and helped expand access to Medicaid and dental care for underserved communities. Most of her bills got bipartisan support.

    Her signature accomplishment was helping pass paid family and medical leave in Delaware. It was personal for McBride.

    Her partner, Cray, was 27 when he was diagnosed with oral cancer. Within a year, the prognosis was terminal. They moved up their wedding plans, asking the Rev. Gene Robinson, a friend and the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, to officiate.

    They married on the rooftop of their apartment building in August 2014. Cray died four days later at the hospital.

    Aspiring to a politics of grace

    In her 2018 memoir, McBride wrote a chapter titled “Amazing grace,” about “beautiful acts of kindness” she witnessed during the last weeks of Cray’s life.

    “A lot of times when people go through loss, it can be either faith-crushing or faith-affirming. And for me, it was faith-affirming,” she said.

    In the decade since, she often asks herself, “What would Andy do?” And she seeks to follow his example of compassion and “principled grace” toward anti-LGBTQ politicians. “His kindness, his decency has provided for me a North Star.”

    Some activists criticized McBride for not fighting back more forcefully against the Capitol bathroom ban. She agrees it’s important for trans people to access public facilities, but says she will respond with grace.

    “At the end of the day, our ability to have a pluralistic, diverse democracy requires some foundation of kindness and grace,” McBride said. “And I believe in that so strongly that even when it’s difficult, I will seek to summon it.”

    Sarah McBride’s historic election as the first openly transgender person to be elected to Congress is a significant milestone for the LGBTQ+ community and the fight for equal representation in government. The Associated Press’s reporting on her campaign and victory provides several key takeaways:

    1. Representation Matters: McBride’s election is a powerful reminder of the importance of representation in government. By electing a transgender person to Congress, voters have sent a clear message that all individuals, regardless of their gender identity, deserve a seat at the table.

    2. Progress in LGBTQ+ Rights: McBride’s victory is a sign of progress in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. As a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ equality, her election signals a shift towards greater acceptance and inclusion of transgender individuals in politics and society.

    3. Overcoming Discrimination: Throughout her campaign, McBride faced discrimination and transphobia, but she remained resilient and focused on her message of equality and justice for all. Her success in the face of adversity serves as a powerful example of perseverance and determination.

    4. Inspiring Future Leaders: McBride’s historic election has inspired countless individuals, especially young LGBTQ+ people, to pursue their own dreams of public service and activism. Her story is a testament to the power of representation and the impact that one person can have on creating positive change.

    Overall, the AP’s reporting on Sarah McBride’s journey to Congress highlights the importance of diversity, inclusion, and equality in government, and serves as a beacon of hope for a more inclusive and equitable future.
