'Make a list and just go for it.'

What’s the best piece of work advice you’ve ever received? The worst?
That's what we asked some recent attendees of Poynter's Leadership Academy for Women in Media.
Sam Nicles, senior social producer at theSkimm, said she loved the advice "to fake it until you make it."
"Just go for it," said Melina Olma, founder and CEO, Cultura Diplomática, of the best advice she's ever gotten. "Make a list, and just go for it."
Ellen London, managing editor of GBH News, said the worst piece of work-related advice she ever got was to wait, "that the universe will somehow magically find you when an opportunity comes up."
What's the best and worst career advice you ever got? Add to the conversation in the comments of our Instagram post.
Then read on for training that might just be a magical opportunity opening up for you.

| How Any Journalist Can Earn Trust |
Self-directed course, start any time
We have to stop assuming people understand the mission, ethics and processes behind our work in journalism. We can’t let ourselves get lumped in with perceptions of “the media.” Instead, we need to actively work to earn trust from our communities by telling them why we’re worthy of their time, trust and support.
This online, self-directed course, developed in partnership with our friends at Trusting News, will help you understand mistrust and gain a better understanding of what trust in news looks like around the world. Examples and activities are designed for non-U.S. news media and fact-checking organizations, in collaboration with Poynter’s International Fact-Checking Network. If you are based in the U.S., check out this version instead.
Cost: Free. |
