Last week, I got to spend a few days in New York City to speak at the American Society of Journalists and Authors annual conference. And happily, I had so many newsletters to dig into on my trips and waits at airports.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about a few of my favorites and asked Local Edition readers to share theirs. And boy, did you. Here are some of your favorite newsletters. Where possible, I included a description.
About our industry:
-
Understated, by Sarah Alvarez: “This is just a simple blog cataloging research I'm doing, conversations I'm having, and ideas that feel exciting and relevant to finding some different news formats and frameworks that might work better than what we use and rely on now.”
-
Working Systems by Damon Kiesow
-
The Other Wave by Anita Li: “An innovation newsletter about challenging the status quo in Canadian journalism.”
-
MLK50: "Justice through journalism."
-
The International Society for Weekly Newspaper Editors
-
Muck Rack Daily: “A digest of journalism, written by journalists, delivered to your inbox daily.”
-
The Journalist’s Resource
-
Journalist’s Toolbox: “Journalist's Toolbox (TM) AI shares tools, plug-ins, browser extensions and other artificial intelligence resources that are helpful to professional journalists, students, educators, marketers and others.”
-
Collaborative journalism: “A hub of resources and ideas related to collaborative journalism.”
-
Mc Nelly Torres: “I write about topics the media industry often ignores — racism, sexism, discrimination and inequities in newsrooms — using my experience as a Latina to help you navigate this industry.”
-
Media Nation by Dan Kennedy: “The press, politics, technology, culture and other passion.”
About our world:
Here’s one more I should have included two weeks ago by my friend Stephanie Hayes at the Tampa Bay Times. Stephinitley offers “sidelong glances at Florida! Ill-fated life advice! Occasional animal photos!” and it’s a delight.
That’s it for me. If you need something else to keep you busy right now, I'm so excited about this project by my colleague Tom Jones in honor of Poynter's 50th anniversary. I'm going to write about it more in a few weeks, but check out The Poynter 50, a look back at significant media moments and people in the last 50 years. Up first: "CNN’s live coverage of Operation Desert Storm launched a new era in television news." (Also, check out Tom leaving no crumbs and being a very good sport on our Instagram.)
