I got into journalism because it's a public service. This project epitomizes that, & it’s just the start.

This made me smile. A bit of delight for a Saturday if you haven't seen it.

My sister lives in St. Louis and just sent me this. Apparently these two did it last week and the whole block cheered them on.

This Daily series is worth every minute to understand what's happening in Europe. It surprised me, made me cringe, & most importantly exposed me to new perspectives https://t.co/GBbZ1x7V3D Kudos to @kbennhold, @lynsea & @claretoenis!

For content, "agile prioritizes meeting user needs over following a plan...delivering progress over reporting progress." @padmasaysblah's presentation on @GatherContent is def worth a watch

The @NYTimes formula for good newsletters: "Know your audience, have an expert write it, design it beautifully, maintain it w/ best practices in mind, &, perhaps most important, 'offer something valuable that you can't get anywhere else.'"

More than 14 million people subscribe to New York Times newsletters. What makes a good one?

.@ProPublica still stands as the best place I've worked & a great team of nerds to learn from & be a part of. Here's to another 10 years making an impact!

10 years ago @propublica, the only (official) nerds were @kkjschmidt, @kleinmatic, and me (a few months later). Now everyone is pretty much a nerd: https://t.co/44Gap0BuUr

#ContentStrategy at the intersection of content design & systems design in @BrainTraffic's updated quad. In my experience, most problems/hiccups have stemmed from a lack of focus on systems design https://t.co/EPFcWgJJE9

We have some amazing U.S. women (& marathoners) at the top of their game. So inspired by @des_linden & @ShalaneFlanagan!!

Marathon and all running, really, in a nutshell from post-race @des_linden — “I didn’t feel great l, thought I was gonna drop out but I didn’t and then I WON!” “You’re stronger than you think you are.” — Running, to us. Always.

Worth a read on the need to address gender imbalances of sources in news stories: "I assumed that my passive concern would be enough. Passive concern never is."

This from @webmeadow on the new podcast @noyougoshow (you should listen!) is sticking w/ me: "Why should my work get all of my best brain?"
