A journalism degree isn’t just for reporting jobs any more.

It’s for any brand that wants to communicate strategically to a big audience — pretty much every brand nowadays, no matter the industry.

Cumulative strokes-gained for the week:

[kirsten lum @kirsten_lum_]

A show called “Data Talk” modeled after Car Talk where PMs, CEOs, and GMs l call in and I explain why none of the numbers in their reports match and whether or not their analytics team is grifting them.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

A new data redaction feature just rolled out to the GA4 demo account.

It has two toggles. One is the auto-redaction of e-mail addresses. The other allows you to manually specify query parameters to redact.

Last summer, I discovered the series 'Strapped' and was immediately fascinated by the direction of @DJPie and the interplay of @BigRandyNLU and @ngschuNLU. This feature is basically my ode to a show that is everything great about golf https://t.co/Phtcevyxel

If so, then it makes sense to live in a dashboard-first world. If not, you should be crafting *narratives*.
