As a WCCO-TV Morning Anchor and Minnesota Monthly Food Critic, I use social media across many channels to connect with viewers, to share work I’ve broadcast or published, and to solicit feedback and story ideas. We have a lot of fun on social media, but I’m always mindful of the fact that I’m a journalist: I’m transparent about what we do as a station, and I own mistakes and immediately correct when possible.
Twitter’s @DeRushaJ has nearly 59,000 followers; @DeRushaEats has 26,000; on Instagram I have nearly 19,000 followers; and another 30,000 follow on Facebook.

I have deleted a tweet from this weekend which I thought was benign and amusing but some felt was judgmental and mean-spirited and virtue-signaling and that’s not what I intended, so it’s gone. Appreciate the feedback!
