Alas, I won't be at #IJF23. Going to miss you lovely people.
Here's my introvert's guide to the festival from last year (AKA how to leave @journalismfest with more energy than you arrived.) 😁
Introverts, contrary to popular belief, are not anti-social. We just find places where there are large groups of people intimidating. We prefer to socialise in small groups.
If this sounds like you, and you're heading to #IJF22 this week, here's my survival guide...

gal-dem has been such an important part of my life as a reader, writer and fan. I'm sad to see it go, but it will always be a reminder of what journalism can be. Thank you to all the people who created such an inspiring platform that made countless waves in British media.
We are incredibly sad to announce that gal-dem is closing.
Several factors that have contributed to this difficult decision, including numerous challenges with running a small, mission-driven, independent media company. We’ve shared more here gal-dem.com/gal-dem-goodbye-…
When I first learned German, I thought squirrels were called "einhörnchen." This translates more-or-less as "baby unicorns."
It took the best part of a decade until someone politely corrected me.🤦♂️

An amazing image of a full rainbow captured at 30,000 feet by pilot Lloyd J. Ferraro. Rainbows are actually full circles, but we usually only see half of the arc from Earth.
An amazing opportunity for young people to gain journalism experience, all over Europe. 35% of previous fellows found jobs with one of the host organisations from the network at the end of the placement. Great to see this programme go from strength to strength.
🎉 We have opened the applications for the GNI Student Fellowship 2023!
In partnership with @GoogleNewsInit, we are offering 20 paid summer placements across 9 countries in Europe. Apply now until 21 April 23:59 CEST

Algorithms are being used in welfare systems across Europe to hunt for fraud. These machines make life-changing decisions about millions of people. They claim to be accurate and fair. For the first time we got access to fully test these claims

There isn't enough time, or enough words, to do justice to the power Mandy brought to this world. She was a special one.
I'll remember her like this: in a bar, laughing, fearless, in flow, the smartest person in the room, having both the time and the words. RIP, friend.

We're deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former ONA board member and president, Mandy Jenkins. She was instrumental in creating the Women's Leadership Accelerator, was a force in #DigitalJournalism, a mentor + a friend. We will miss her infinitely. bit.ly/3IAEI7r
