This month’s edition of #TheOtherWave is about trust — or what’s left of it 🫣🗞️
Whether you work in a startup newsroom or a legacy outlet, journalism is facing a full-blown credibility crisis.
theotherwave.substack.com/p/journalism...

Psyched to be at the second Canadian Engaged Journalism conference in Toronto! First off - Anita Li is talking about building out a profitable local newsroom @thegreenlineto.bsky.social
