I got into journalism because it's a public service. This project epitomizes that, & it’s just the start.
✨Service journalism announcement!✨ Today, we published the first batch in a series of solutions-oriented pieces designed to help you navigate work-related challenges in these unprecedented times. https://t.co/6zo1SniWiJ

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!!
@des_linden Now it’s your turn 👊🏼💪🏼🇺🇸

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 story of @CoogansNYC, being forced to close & then being saved by the community it cared about for so many years, makes me so happy

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?"
