Things are always a bit tough over the winter; job adverts and sponsors dry up over Christmas and as you may have seen from *previous tweets* there’s a lot of unpaid invoices due to us atm. Every copy helps us keep running programmes like our fellowship journoresources.org.uk/journ…

I see we are doing this again. The idea of social platforms currently feels entirely exhausting, but hey, I’m there if you want me. I’m exhausted on all platforms! But seriously, I talk about journalism jobs, advice, and opportunities — and building a better industry.

My upcoming @journoresources piece is on how much sports journalists know about different sports, and I am looking for participants in sports media to assist my research. It should take a few minutes to fill out. Responses would be greatly appreciated! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Can you help us with this piece? Please get in touch with Maysaa or drop me a DM and I’ll link you up. We’re particularly keen to talk about the path to leadership. If needed, this can be anonymous. @journoresources
I'm writing a feature for Journoresources on the underrepresentation of Black female journalists. If you're a Black female journalist in a newsroom, production, freelance, or visual journalism, I'd love to interview you! Please DM me. #JournoRequest

Please please please don’t let them import this ā€œdebateā€ from the US. That’s how it starts. If you work in television, please don’t produce these debates. Don’t be complacent there are people who want to do the same thing here is happening in America.
We have an abortion problem in the UK. 1 in 3 women (!!) will have an abortion in their lifetime. Yet NO little girl grows up wanting to have an abortion. So what’s going wrong?

I think this debate is super interesting (it rolls around every so often, we last covered it in 2021), mainly for the strength of views it elicits on both sides.
For the last couple of days I’ve been having some interesting chats with people here who call themselves journalists and don’t do shorthand. I’ve argued as best I can that it’s essential for many reasons. Not least, legal and professional requirements. You can only try so much.

And this - as an often forgotten part of the conversation
Replying to @NickMDuffy
I do think this is really important when it comes to shorthand and hardly ever gets mentioned. @April_L_Lloyd did a v good overview. Sadly the data was too small to get the numbers on this from journalism courses, but I think the studies show the point journoresources.org.uk/disab…

We definitely felt this over the past few months — last month we only ran five paid job ads on @journoresources. There are, of course, other jobs out there on other boards/employers — we link out to them — but it means you need to cast the net wider apple.news/AtLiTkn1IR4aXqJOF…
