PERSONAL NEWS DROP🎤 I’m joining the faculty at @MedillSchool full-time! In addition to teaching, I’m focused on establishing the university as a solutions journalism hub in the Midwest, leading industry trainings and conducting research. editorandpublisher.com/stori…
I often tell students about the scam that was Metpro. I was hired on a barely livable wage and when I was lucky enough to get hired as a staff reporter, I got a raise of wait for it….25 cents.
Seven Chicago Tribune journalists filed a class-action discrimination lawsuit Thursday against the newspaper and its owner. trib.al/H4WltJp

Journalist friends — I’m teaching self care for journalists this week. What are some tips/tricks/suggestions for taking care of yourself? ⬇️⬇️⬇️#journorequest

It's that time of year: If you're a student journalist I would like to personally tell you that you're doing great.
Don't worry about everyone else's jobs or internships or post-grad plans. Hype them up with grace, and then remember you're doing great.
It's going to be OK.

Peak journalism is working in a McDonald's and you can't tell me different. There are various reasons for which journalists end up needing to work at a McDonald's and they're all valid and urgent. Yes, I'm currently working at said establishment because of wind-induced issues.
I build in lessons in self-care into my curriculum. Too many reporters burn out and were never taught how to disengage from their work enough to take a breather. We need a generation of reporters that know when to stop the brakes.
Imagine crossing the border into the US for better opportunities for your children etc and then your Mexican child misspells quesadilla in an auditorium filled of people
