happy friday! here's a guide I wrote on how to attract young(ish) audiences for small(ish) legacy organizations, featuring case studies from a dozen journalism organizations:

I just saw 3 seconds of a Syrian boy, covered in blood & dust, crying out for his dead father. Immediate tears. It isn't normal to be witnessing this every day. It just isn't. 100 dead today. And as a manger of a newsroom, I still don't know how can I possibly make people care.

it's like watching a looping horror movie. I became a journalist because I believed in our duty & responsibility to show the world what's going on, and in that then affecting change. but what do you do when you believe coverage now contributes to the paralysis & desensitization?

I've assigned over a dozen stories for the parkland shooting. so many angles. sent a team down to Florida. And yet when it comes to 200 killed in 3 days, we're so used to it they become a meaningless number. a stat. one video. one tweet.

thinking of egypt, of us 15 years ago, of tweetups and communities built, of revolts and revolutions, of what twitter meant to those or us who organized, reported and connected with the world - and each other - on here.
Think of people around the world tonight who need Twitter to get their voices heard, to document human rights abuses and injustices, to get attention, expose war crimes, and more.
All of them could be about to be cut off because the world’s richest man wanted to own the libs.

my father has already called me three times. he saw that video of a woman in hijab being punched in the head in Michigan.

-Did you rape your daughter like Mohammed? Your prophet was a rapist
-You don’t speak English? That shows how ignorant you are
-The Koran? People use it as a toilet

And in the 5yrs I've been in the U.S., I’ve lost count of how many mass shootings I've covered. the daily bombardment of footage has numbed me. only so much empathy you can give before you're all drained out. hundreds of millions of views later I ask myself: have I really served?

every morning, without fail, I listen to the pitches, and I assign the stories tens of thousands of people will see. I choose when we cover a story - or not. this airstrike? that cholera outbreak? having to balance between war and tech news, genocide and cute animals.
