@adriennemwest I'm so very sorry. In retrospect, my layoff from a dream job was the best thing to happen to me - wishing you better gigs than you ever imagined. (& please take the time you need to recover and rest before plotting next steps.) @The_IIJ is here for ya:

Congratulations @studyhallxyz on the podcast! Brilliant minds think alike - we just launched The Freelance Journalism Podcast today: Possible collab down the road?
Study Hall has started a podcast covering media workers doing exciting things in the industry! For the first episode, I had a lovely chat with @TaylorLorenz about her experience leaving legacy media and launching her own newsletter. Follow us on Spotify!

I heard from so many people: we tackled a potentially depressing topic with clear eyes and an eye to the future. And that being in community with others seeking solutions to journalism's problems was inspiring. Excited to see what happens next!

Huge thanks to @maudlynei & everyone at @FieldIllinois @debofficially and Tim Franklin of @MedillSchool
@SurlyChisholm of UNC Chapel Hill and @alyssaedes for a powerful and inspiring conversation on the future of journalism job. Grateful to Chicago media folx & IIJ volunteers!
While the conversation surrounding #journalismjobs and the future of this field is an important one, it’s also challenging and deeply personal. Last night, we were honored to host alongside @FieldFoundation journalists and policymakers to discuss where we go from here.

Always SO good to be in community with other journalists & sharing strategies for prepping for & recovering from a layoff - and supporting colleagues going through it. Huge thanks to @yowei_shaw @JaniceLlamoca @maudlynei @AIRmedia @FieldIllinois for partnering on this webinar.
Friday's SoundPath and @The_IIJ panel on "The Impact of Layoffs and How to Weather Them" is now available to view for AIR members and webinar ticket holders: This panel is for freelance or former journalists laid off or accepted a buy-out.

So grateful to have a truly independent media criticism outlet growing and thriving -- now more than ever. Please join me in supporting @ObjectiveJrn and their year-end campaign. Our $$ will be matched through @NewsMatch
The Objective has been around for four years and we'll be here for the next four. Just like politicians, journalism need to be held accountable for characterizing, distorting, and ignoring different communities. If you value that, consider supporting us.
