I got into journalism because it's a public service. This project epitomizes that, & it’s just the start.

[Alex Janin @AlexLJanin]

✨Service journalism announcement!✨

Today, we published the first batch in a series of solutions-oriented pieces designed to help you navigate work-related challenges in these unprecedented times.

When you run out of puzzles in quarantine, @WSJ has you covered https://t.co/jmOIrZTvg4

The thinking behind this makes me happy. Kudos to @elliot_bentley!

[Robin Kwong @RobinKwong]

Really excited to once again share something else that's new @WSJ with y'all (and this one is AH-MAZING):

The WSJ Jigsaw Puzzle, made by @elliot_bentley

This made me smile. A bit of delight for a Saturday if you haven't seen it.

[Nate Tice @Nate_Tice]

My sister lives in St. Louis and just sent me this. Apparently these two did it last week and the whole block cheered them on.

A different kind of crisis warrants a different kind of bailout, from @andrewrsorkin @dealbook https://t.co/tZHnvfeKQD

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

Needed this. Thank you, @gloriagaynor https://t.co/01HBkQdSwT

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

This Daily series is worth every minute to understand what's happening in Europe. It surprised me, made me cringe, & most importantly exposed me to new perspectives https://t.co/GBbZ1x7V3D Kudos to @kbennhold, @lynsea & @claretoenis!

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

For content, "agile prioritizes meeting user needs over following a plan...delivering progress over reporting progress." @padmasaysblah's presentation on @GatherContent is def worth a watch https://t.co/ehvlrGcJBs

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

It's time to take note of our digital carbon footprint—a wise warning from @gerrymcgovern https://t.co/xRz5CNBa27

Priority guides: What they are, why to use them, & how to make them (all before, or instead of, wireframes) https://t.co/2aUi01all8

The @NYTimes formula for good newsletters: "Know your audience, have an expert write it, design it beautifully, maintain it w/ best practices in mind, &, perhaps most important, 'offer something valuable that you can't get anywhere else.'" https://t.co/Kr5MNPNne2

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

.@ProPublica still stands as the best place I've worked & a great team of nerds to learn from & be a part of. Here's to another 10 years making an impact! https://t.co/boVYWoO4VM

[dan nguyen 🐮 @dancow]

10 years ago @propublica, the only (official) nerds were @kkjschmidt, @kleinmatic, and me (a few months later). Now everyone is pretty much a nerd:

#ContentStrategy at the intersection of content design & systems design in @BrainTraffic's updated quad. In my experience, most problems/hiccups have stemmed from a lack of focus on systems design https://t.co/EPFcWgJJE9

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

In related news, still among my leadership goals: the ‘Shalane Flanagan Effect’ https://t.co/UjMAG4bflz

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

We have some amazing U.S. women (& marathoners) at the top of their game. So inspired by @des_linden & @ShalaneFlanagan!! https://t.co/gaM0X3efq0

[Shalane Flanagan @ShalaneFlanagan]

@des_linden Now it’s your turn 👊🏼💪🏼🇺🇸

[gabriele grunewald @gg_runs]

Marathon and all running, really, in a nutshell from post-race @des_linden — “I didn’t feel great l, thought I was gonna drop out but I didn’t and then I WON!”

“You’re stronger than you think you are.” — Running, to us. Always.

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

Worth a read on the need to address gender imbalances of sources in news stories: "I assumed that my passive concern would be enough. Passive concern never is." https://t.co/H9eSDdYn6W

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

This story of @CoogansNYC, being forced to close & then being saved by the community it cared about for so many years, makes me so happy https://t.co/QlfrYBduj9

[Krista K. Schmidt @kkjschmidt]

This from @webmeadow on the new podcast @noyougoshow (you should listen!) is sticking w/ me: "Why should my work get all of my best brain?" https://t.co/3EgpckfSSl
