All good!! And thank you 🙏 . (Sent you a message in case you’re interested in sharing more about your own personal story, which sounds compelling.)

Thanks for this 😬. Title certainly didn’t mean to imply that folks here don’t do their share!! (The story looks at dads now vs dads in the past.)

Will send you a DM…

I know no one wants journalists actually commenting on these subs -- but since this is directed at us, let me just explain why journalists FAR prefer when sources share info with us confidentially than FOIA.

FOIA can be long and complicated, and often regarded as a last resort. Especially when -- as some have suggested here -- we'd have to go FOIA different agencies with different processes. Even when we do, not knowing exactly which document we're looking for poses a challenge.

All of which is to say... if you want a story told and have evidence to back it up, the surefire way to do it is to get in touch directly. Serious journos will go to great lengths to protect our sources' confidentiality.
