Today @ConversationEDU turns 10! Let's take a look back at our journey... (thread) #NewsByExperts 🎂
The Conversation launched on March 24 2011 from a cramped office in inner Melbourne, with all our journos squeezed around a single desk. This was the original team:
Today is The Conversation's 10th birthday!
We're proud to have grown from a group of journos crowded around a desk in Melbourne, to one of the world's most-read independent, evidence-based news organisations.
Here's to a decade of #NewsByExperts! 🎂
The Conversation is turning 10 this week!
Our Editor @mishaketch has written a piece for The @australian reflecting on how far we've come, from humble beginnings with staff huddled around one desk to an international news organisation with 100+ editors.

This is a very interesting piece of analysis of #auspol female voting patterns given today’s #March4Justice. Note: the shift in women’s voting patterns pre-dates both the post-COVID “pink recession” and the issues around sexual assault.

We need to take a sledgehammer to male privilege.
The male privilege in Australia’s parliament has given its members such a sense of exceptionalism, they think the standards of the corporate office should not apply to their workplace.

Since FB pulled our content, we've had many requests for a @ConversationEDU app. There's 2 reasons we don't have one:
1. We've built + prioritised the site for mobile
2. Apps are bloody expensive to build + maintain.
So here's the next best thing for all you app users👇
At @ConversationEDU just 7% of our traffic comes from FB.
However, FB is an info ecosystem riddled with #fakenews, fear-mongering posts + Craig Kelly-esque users. We tried to counteract misinformation on the playing field it was being shared.
This is where the real loss lies.
Facebook announced overnight it will ban news publishers from sharing content. This includes @ConversationEDU.
