So thankful for my first #nabj2026 in Atlanta,

Being a visual journalist working in local news has truly changed my life in so many ways. I came out of this conference feeling even more passion for the work I do. 

Thank you to everyone who gave critique, advice, and connected with me. Journalism is extremely important, local journalism for a matter of fact. I cannot wait to continue perfecting my craft in visual storytelling!!

A Georgia native, known for his role on Netflix’s “Love on the Spectrum,” is advocating for a new state law aimed at improving safety for people with autism during interactions with law enforcement. Connor Tomlinson is pushing for what’s known as “Rio’s Law,” which would create a specialty license plate to alert officers that someone in the vehicle may have autism or a developmental disability. Supporters say the measure is meant to reduce misunderstandings and help officers respond more appropriately in high-stress situations.

The proposal also includes additional training for law enforcement on how to recognize and interact with people on the autism spectrum. Tomlinson, who has autism, said the effort is personal and could help prevent dangerous encounters, noting that behaviors like avoiding eye contact or difficulty communicating can be misinterpreted. Advocates say the law could make Georgia safer for neurodivergent individuals while giving officers better tools to handle those situations.

It had been 25 years since a daytime soap opera debuted, until “Beyond the Gates” hit the scene on CBS last year. Actress Tamara Tunie called it a “glass-ceiling-breaking show,” and the only thing that would bring her back to daytime TV. Karla Mosley, who plays Dani Dupree on the show, said she’d “never had anything like this” before, with fans following her on social media as though she were the character.

#BeyondTheGates focuses on the Duprees, an affluent and powerful Black family living in a gated community outside of Washington, D.C., and is filled with milestones: it’s the first soap since the early 1990s to feature a predominantly Black cast and the first to have Black female executive producers. The show earned two NAACP Image Award nominations, including outstanding drama series — the first for a daytime drama. The cast works year-round with no hiatus, shooting 80 to 90 pages of scripts daily for the fans and the people they love.
