If you're a white journalist or someone with any level of privilege in journalism (ie: a prestige employer, a full-time job with benefits, a fair/livable wage for the city you live in, etc), today is a GREAT day to support someone who doesn't have that same privilege. (cont)

@seangriffey Most likely for contrast and readability when the lines overlap. Also, more contrast with the horizontal guide lines. Green is also the easiest color for the human eye to see, so it definitely draws the eye makes the lines “pop” visually.

Sadly I am one of the many who found out their position was eliminated today. It has been an absolute honor to work with such a hardworking group of people.

I have a lot to figure out. But if anyone is hiring, especially in the NYC area, please reach out.

guess it's my last week @axios , still a bit shocked and sad that half our team was laid off, but grateful to have learned so much from my kind, brilliant @AxiosVisuals coworkers // one last chart roundup of some faves from the past two years✨

@rubinafillion @nytimes So exciting, congrats!

As journalists it often feels like we’re not allowed to have feelings and we have to put our work before ourselves. We forget we’re human beings and ourselves first. This needs to change. Let’s talk how at 11:30 am in Habor B. #NICAR24

[Greg Linch (he/him) @greglinch]

Good morning, #NICAR24! @kboorath, @JasmineHanYe and I will be leading a commons session at 11:30 a.m. in Harborside B: “Taking care: Navigating our mental health as journalists.” This will be an off-the-record, roundtable-style discussion. Details here https://t.co/3mT11fdEsT

[Investigative Reporters & Editors @IRE_NICAR]

As investigative journalists, we often deal with some dark data and research. How can we cope?

At #NICAR24, we’ll host “Taking care: Navigating our mental health as journalists” with @JasmineHanYe, @greglinch & @kboorath.

This obit captures @howardweaver so well. He was always thoughtful and encouraging — whether chatting on Twitter back in the early days of the platform, as a Publish2 board member, at journalism conferences or as part of the @snarkmarket seminar 💔 https://t.co/8NCsre4Al3

This transition — in a reporter's obituary for his longtime editor — brought tears to my eyes

@pilhofer @TUKleincollege @grove Ahhh, congrats!! That's awesome!

Attention newsrooms; Words matter. “Racially motivated” can mean a lot of things — or nothing. The Jacksonville shooting was a *racist* attack.

As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let us keep in mind that African Americans during the Civil War distinguished between *abolishing slavery* and *freeing people.* Many formerly enslaved people did not feel *free* in 1865 and thereafter, and they clearly articulated why. A thread 1/

@kensands @industrydive @seangriffey @MegHargreavesDC Yes, indeed! 👋
