EVERY journalist knows a story that never made it past the pitch.
Limited budgets, timeliness or editorial remit can leave important reporting without a home. UNTOLD is being built to give more stories a chance.

There has never been more news. So why does it feel like there are fewer people being paid to actually go out and find it?🤔

After years of blood, sweat and tears, and the occasional battle with imposter syndrome mixed with a healthy dose of excitement... I am delighted to finally announce the launch of UNTOLD's crowdfunding campaign

Do I know of any publications courageous enough to publish an investigation into Central America's hidden sex hotels? DM me
Some days #freelancejournalism feels like shouting into the void. But I care too much about underreported stories to stop.
I wrote a #LinkedIn post about the silence, the #burnout, and the stubbornness that keeps me going.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say the biggest, most heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you who has donated, shared, or sent kind messages about Cobain. (1/3)

I don’t usually post personal stuff, but my beautiful kitty Cobain is fighting for his life after several vicious attacks.
I’ve started a fundraiser to help with staggering vet bills. If you can donate or share, I’d be so, so grateful: bit.ly/help-cobain-walk-agai…
A year after the field trip with Nursing Heart that took myself and my superstar translator Anita into one of the most remote villages in rural #Guatemala and months of research and fact checking, she's live!

The tragedy at Florida State University is heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with everyone affected. To our SOJOWB community — past and present — we’re thinking of you too, especially if this news feels close to home.
No one should fear violence in spaces of learning. 🖤

👀 Journalism educators:
Are you teaching visual storytelling in your curriculum?
We’ve just added it to ours — curious how you're approaching it.

Still don't have plans for the academic break? Join @sojowb in Lake Atitlan, #Guatemala where the next chapter of your reporting career could begin.
#solutionsjournalism #studyabroad @soljourno
When @StephanieCapper created SOJOWB, it wasn’t just about teaching #solutionsjournalism.
It was about rewriting how stories are told - by who, for who, and with who.

What if your next #journalism assignment took you to the shores of Lake Atitlán — collaborating with a cohort of local and international storytellers?
This isn’t a hypothetical.
It’s SOJOWB. And applications are open: bit.ly/sojowb-apply-now
For me, it was how to pitch an idea to an editor - both in the newsroom and as a freelancer. Guess what @sojowb has an entire module on? 🤓

Journalism students and grads - what’s one thing you wish someone taught you in J-school?
Asking for the next @sojowb cohort this summer in #Guatemala

#solutionsjournalism #studyabroad
Honestly... can you think of a better place to learn #solutionsjournalism than Lake Atitlan in #Guatemala?
Didn't think so. Apply now: bit.ly/sojowb-apply-now
@soljourno
Not a theory-heavy lecture. Not a textbook assignment.
@sojowb programs are boots-on-the-ground solutions reporting from day one - right in the heart of #Guatemala.
