As we build this unconventional newsroom, we're inspired by the many people and organizations that have laid the foundation for our work: @anitawrites.bsky.social, @citybureau.bsky.social, @documenters.org, @eltimpano.bsky.social, @zantimes.bsky.social, #NewsFutures — to name a few!!
I talk about working with @libraryfutures.bsky.social #NewsFutures and @samhelmick.bsky.social 📚 + share some love for Jem & The Misfits and apple cider doughnuts 🍎 in this piece.
Thanks to @outsidethelinespub.bsky.social for the feature! 💝
Join us tomorrow at the #NewsFutures launch event - Wed Feb 26 (12pm PT/3pm ET)!
Come spend an hour with journalists, organizers, public servants and educators working toward information equity for all.
The dream, right? ⬇️
