I'm really looking forward to the contributions to this special issue that @admire2mare, @Ogolah and @jSWahutu_nyu and I will co-edit for @AfrJournStud. It focusses on news/media producers (peripheral actors) that operate outside legacy news media.

I admire my colleagues and friends who on top of everything else, manage to stay on top of their social media. I have had zero energy to even check Twitter in WEEKS

Despite being exhausted and buried under massive piles of extra work (due to working from home), I keep reminding myself of how my family and I are incredibly lucky that the whole covid nightmare has not hit us that hard.

Probably not what most consider for a summer read, but if you're interested @steensteensen @raufercon & I published an article theorizing audience engagement. Quite pleased with it, to be honest.
