A strange day for me today. Are we still doing job news on twitter?
It’s my last day with Newsquest’s central Digital Optimisation Team. I’ve had an absolute blast over the last 18 months, supporting around 130 local, regional, and national titles, but as of Monday my focus

@tburgessjourno @TheNorthernEcho @guardian Amazing occasion to have front row seats, Tom. You’ll do a cracking job. Looking forward to seeing your coverage.

@journostacey @janehamilton22 @Daily_Record @NUJScotland @_mitchellnicole It’s bad enough when it happens to staffers, but that’s awful. Usually the same agency every time and there’s no appetite to do anything about it further up the ladder..

@AdamMorrisEdin I feel like one of those sarcophagi should open up as a drinks cabinet, while the other turns out to be a juke box or something

Here's a bit more from me about what to expect from the @HibsObserver_ in the coming weeks & months. It is subscription-based but you get full access for 6 months for £1, so plenty of time to get a feel for what we're doing: https://t.co/5kEIrWTUqn

Why the hell did nobody tell me about this??

[Scott McCartney @Subchimp]

Expired office teabags. Would you?

@RosalindErskine You’re totally right. On second last ep now. Keep catching glimpses of his idiot brother sitting next to Brittany and hoping he won’t feature.
