Can you help get us to our first goal of $7,500?
We're about halfway there coming out of @SRCCON. An extraordinary matching gift from our advisory board means every dollar you donate today is amplified by their match. There's no better time to support.

"No organization is more worthy of support than this one. OpenNews is an island of sanity in an ocean of media crazy."
That's the first note we received on our donation page after we announced our end-of-year fundraising drive.
We are honored.

Excellent start to #SRCCON2023 day two with @rosiecima talking about how we as journalists know what we know.
I mean, there have been multiple references to cookie jars and raccoon droppings (not at the same time, thankfully)—how can that not be a good time?
📢We are nearly 2-weeks from the News Product Management Certification application deadline!
We’re excited to share what you will work on during one of our technical weeks in the course! 🛠️👩💻

Having the best time at my first in-person journalism conference since the pandemic began and my first @SRCCON ever! I see now what people love about it — they really do facilitate connection. Say hi if you see me! #srccon2023
My #srccon2023 started with talking about elections and burnout, and ended with inspiring creativity lightning talks, a sewing circle making tiny quilts (thanks for your help, @DanielleAlberti!) and talking about Little Women. These are my peopleeee 💙

The "What the @#%J do journalists do about Twitter?" session is sounding pretty cathartic. #SRCCON2023
"It's the bad place now."
"Some folks don't mourn the death of Twitter at all."
"[Missing] the serendipity of finding interesting things to read."
#SRCCON2023 We know you know but make sure to give your facilitators lots of love! Having cheerleaders in the room makes being up on stage so much easier. 🙌
I'm giving a talk at #SRCCON2023 today and am a little nervous. It's the first time for this subject, but I plan to explore it more fully with my class in the spring.
Thank you K. and V. & A. for your help!
