it's made me think what would @wannabehacks look like if we created it now (@benwhitelaw @_TomClarke @alice_emily @mattcaines) - back then we were blogging, podcasting, tweeting and doing events. Would our CV clinic have been on an Instagram live? 2/5

Introducing @felisan2, previously a User Advocate at Quartz. Feli's profile is full of insights but this quote jumped out at me: "Finding the right people and team to work with is more important than finding the perfect role or job description" buff.ly/2NA8zEp

This weekend the second @EvolvingNews profile was published. Many thanks to @Ashley_J_Kirk for taking the time to answer all my questions evolvingnewsroom.substack.com/p/ashley-kirk-…

Introducing our first profile: @Karen_L_Johnson, Head of Product Innovation & Research at Bloomberg Media: buff.ly/3sb1ZDN
Wannabe Hacks retweeted
Yesterday I published the first @EvolvingNews profile on @Karen_L_Johnson which you can read here: evolvingnewsroom.substack.com/p/karen-johnso… there are so many good insights and reflections you just have to head over and read the whole thing. You won’t regret it!

What's your favourite newsletter and why?
Wannabe Hacks retweeted
One thing key for this project is diversity. To properly explore how newsrooms are changing the people profiled need to be diverse, the roles need to be diverse, but so do the publication sizes & types, their business models and their strategies. So PLEASE do send in suggestions
Wannabe Hacks retweeted
Morning, having said hello yesterday. We wanted to share a bit more about our thinking and why now. The speed at which newsrooms/news operations add new roles and the power and responsibility they give them is different from one publication to the next. With this in mind 1/3
Wannabe Hacks retweeted
Inspired by @wannabehacks, I'm putting a little side project out into the world today. It will explore how newsrooms are evolving through the new roles that have appeared over the last decade and beyond. Called @EvolvingNews you can learn more here 1/3 nickpetrie.co/index.php/2020…
Wannabe Hacks retweeted
If you were getting started in journalism (or looking to change jobs) and wanted to learn more about the types of roles available in newsrooms as they change and adapt to a digital future which of these names speaks to that? (Other suggestions welcomed)
