Lessons from a year in management

“You’re management now. If everybody loved you you’d be doing something wrong.” — The Paper For the past year or so, I’ve been writing a newsletter called The Middles (please feel free to subscribe!). The premise for The Middles is that myself, along with many others I know, have found…

It’s time to bid adieu.

In the time #wjchat has been around, we’ve made friends, colleagues, propped each other other during hard times and celebrated each other’s success. This was a community of misfits, data geeks, reporters who loved to tweet, students who were intrigued by the idea of the web and veterans who knew…

A new path for #wjchat

The #wjchat crew has spent the past few months tackling a few issues: How do we reduce the amount of time the all-volunteer crew spends on prepping and running the chats? (It’s way more time than you think) What’s a possible solution that keeps our little community together, happy and…

The middles: The managers who somehow ended up there.

Since the end of 2016, thoughts on leadership have been rolling around my head. I was lucky enough to be part of the inaugural class of Poynter-NABJ’s Leadership Academy for Diversity in Digital Media, alongside some amazing people, in December, around the time I was really starting to feel the…

Learning how to be

Thoughts on finding your place, after losing your place, straight from my journal. — When reported.ly folded, countless people asked me what I was doing next. The first answer was, “going on a hippie-dippie retreat because I don’t remember how to just be.” That’s still true. I have a few plans now (freelancing, training journalists in Vegas, working with UC Berkeley’s Human Rights Investigations Lab, any idea you might propose to me). It’s still a time of waiting for me. Waiting for my mind to get to the right place, waiting for answers, waiting.

Lessons from nearly two years of reported.ly

As Reported.ly looks set to shut its doors, at least for now, deputy managing editor Kim Bui looks back on what the team learned For 20 months, a small team worked through the question of how to take social newsgathering to scale. There is more “noise” than ever, every day…

Unintended immigrants

I know many of you are thinking I should be writing about what is next, or what reported.ly gave me, since it’s the first day without it. That will happen, but for now, an essay I wrote a while ago about refugees, the words we choose and my family. This…

It is death by a thousand cuts — the small injustices that add up, one after another.

It is death by a thousand cuts — the small injustices that add up, one after another. It’s the cruel nurse, the rude admitting staff, the names called out of a passing car. For the thousands of African refugees living in South Africa, it’s a fact of life. It’s hard to describe South Africa’s relationship with xenophobia. The country in its current political form is two decades old, having somehow emerged from living under the yoke of apartheid. Unemployment is at a staggering 28%, mostly affecting young South Africans. …

The long road to justice for Lesotho’s miners

A recent landmark ruling in South Africa will change the face of mining, but it may take years for it to help foreign-born miners. The ruling, issued this spring, allows former mineworkers to form class-action lawsuits against mining companies for exposing them to conditions that caused high rates of silicosis…
