it was the wrong link sue me!!!

awwwww nick!

but also: do your damn eval!

Yeah, this shit ripped. I need to do the evaluation, but here is a testimonial:

This workshop provided me with a new community, a sense of hope about the future and the tools to not just get going in the freelance business but remember why I want to do this stuff to begin with.

"Megan and Charley run a tight ship! In six short sessions, this workshop efficiently plums the depths of what it means to be a freelance reporter today, revealing invaluable tips and tricks along the way. Best of all, Charley and Megan lead with warmth, humor, and an abiding (and contagious!) dedication to building community in an otherwise rather solitary profession." "This was a great class full of specific, actionable advice on nearly everything you might wonder about before launching or advancing your freelance career. I really appreciated everyone's candor, and while I don't want to set expectations too high, I really did feel like Megan helped me figure out my entire professional life during our 1-on-1." "This is the class for freelancers who want to breathe new life into their careers. I highly recommend it!"

we even have TESTIMONIALS on our website now. I’ll put more up soon, but several are from folks who said they made back the money they spent on the class in *one single assignment.* 🥲

turns out people were interested in this — we sold out, and 100% of students said it was worth the cost. so we’re doing it again starting April 15! we’re opening registration tomorrow, but initially only to folks who have filled out our interest form: docs.google.com/forms/d/16cZ...

I'm looking to talk to journalists who are not AI evangelists but who are experimenting with using AI in their journalism work (but not for writing!). If this is you and you'd be willing to chat about it, DM me here or email me at megangreenwellprojects at gmail?

does it have a happy ending

Bad company by Megan Greenwell

seems like a great sign for a magazine when a newly posted job is the same job from which at least three people have been laid off in the past decade, and the low end of the salary band is less than they paid in 2016.

Folks in the Boston area: I’m looking forward to being in conversation with @greenwell.bsky.social this week on *Bad Company* — one of my favorite recent books and exceptional narrative non-fiction. Register: www.hks.harvard.edu/events/priva...

When the Washington Post issued its public explanation of February layoffs, the paper said it intended to take a more narrow focus on national politics and national security. But how does that serve readers? Miriam Berger joins @greenwell.bsky.social on the Kicker. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Yeah man, why would Graham Platner of all people have any obligation to make sure he’s not RTing Nazis? :touches earpiece: And apropos of nothing, being a fan of someone’s show isn’t an endorsement either.

oh god yes. Reading this now, but will also plug Bad Company by @greenwell.bsky.social which does a great job of walking through the real world impacts on People's Lives of the PE takeover of American institutions.

JOHN what happened to spec loyalty

DHS agents detain Columbia student after entering University-owned residence, Shipman reports <i>This is a developing story. Check back for updates. </i>

fyi the Columbia student newspaper has far more details on the ICE raid on a Columbia residence hall (including the likely name of the student in question) than any of the journalists y'all are reposting who aren't on campus. 🙂 support student journalism!

yes hello I slept with my arm under my head and now can't move my (already surgically repaired) wrist.

dad books (generally big meaty popular histories, most recently the Edmund Fitzgerald one that became a bestseller)

it's genuinely very cool to me to see the world's richest newspaper swoop in immediately after a competitor's mass layoffs to hire some generational talents just because they can.

Miriam Berger was one of 300–plus journalists laid off this month by the Washington Post, all but eliminating the publication’s international desk. On The Kicker, she and host @greenwell.bsky.social discuss how she reported stories from Gaza. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

not too late!

wow and yet you ignore my text about it

highlight of my day is that I got connected to this guy and am sending him a copy of my book to thank him for the piece of perfect cinema.

I love service journalism, Damon

Your muted words Twitter in text & tags "going viral" in text & tags following me in text & tags follower count in text & tags "bluesky elder" in text & tags followers in text & tags engagement in text & tags "went viral" in text & tags

seems like a good night to promote my strategy for avoiding the most annoying discourses on this website. when I figure out how to mute all instances of failure to understand jokes and all explanations of subjects I know about, I’ll be unstoppable.
