One of the fastest ways collaborations break down is… #factchecking.
Here’s a solution: a Fact-Check Menu for journalism collaborators, to prevent disagreements and distrust. At #Dataharvest, one attendee requested details on what a FCM contains. Here’s a short summary.👇🏾

Basically:
1. Agree on which facts must be in the story—your Minimum Viable Fact Log, if you want fancy terms 🤗
2. Decide WHO will do WHAT.
3. Add monetary costs, so fact-checking is both financially & physically SAFE for all colleagues.

What is a Fact-Check Menu, and why do cross-border #journalists need one?
Fact-checking investigations causes real tension between partners in different countries. It's why since 2021, I created a Fact-Check Menu and use it when coordinating investigations.

French university canteens have begun offering one-euro meals to students regardless of income, in a measure designed to address financial hardship. The price, which covers a starter, main course and dessert, was previously only available to those with low incomes or receiving financial aid

A Lighthouse Reports survey showed that the tone of emails can ruin collaborations. So how EXACTLY can we write emails that prove we genuinely care about our colleagues, beyond what we can get from them? A few answers here👇🏾

I made this video because I’ve seen journalists complain about another problem; emails that aren’t ‘businessy’ but shallow, showing no genuine care.
Videos are easier for me, so tell me if you prefer these quick takes on solutions

Just got back from Aldi, guy looking after the self check out says on his headset, ‘yeah I went to watch it last night, been blasting out MJ ever since!’
His colleague on the till turns around and says ‘The Michael Jackson Movie?’ He goes yeah it was so good!
He then goes over to auth someone’s till and the customer goes, ‘so the Michael movie was good?’ Staff member says ‘yeah so good mate’
I turn round and say ‘yep I second that, it was amazing! You must watch it’
I kid you not, another customer then goes, ‘they missed out so much! And why did it just end like that, like it was Netflix?’ 😭😭
WE’RE ALL IN ALDI TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON!! Strangers!!!
Brought together by the King of Pop whilst doing our shopping!
Do you know how insane but wholesome that is in 2026?!! 🙌🏾🤣
