“Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” Blue Ridge Public Radio's Laura Lee reflects on 2+ months of disaster coverage, lessons learned & which Taylor Swift track got her through Helene. Find the final 2024 edition of NC Local here: us17.campaign-archive.com?u=48daec7530...
A burgundy and white graphic featuring a portrait of Laura Lee, head slightly turned, smiling, with long straight brown hair, a dark blazer and blue top. Her quote reads: “The thing I'm most proud of is how the team came together [during Helene] and how in tune they were and are and continue to be to what the community really needs. I don't have to remind them to put that first. And I think that's a really positive and valuable service to the community.” At the very bottom is NC Local’s burgundy and white logo.

Loved chatting with @ncopengov.bsky.social's new Director Pate McMichael. He's been busy since starting in September & is looking forward to meeting & assisting NC news & info friends. Also, send him links to your stories using public records so he can promote your work!

A few months into his new role at the NC Open Government Coalition Director Pate McMichael isn't daunted by the erosion of transparency in the state. Instead, it's what motivates him each day. Learn more in our Q&A: nclocalnewsworkshop.org/news-leader-...
A burgundy and white quote card featuring a portrait of Pate McMichael wearing a light Oxford shirt, light brown hair and a mustache and goatee, smiling and pictured outdoors. His quote reads: “The partisanship that's going on is distracting from the fact that we are losing access to speak truth to power, to hold our government accountable. That should disturb everybody when lawmakers suddenly decide they don't have to do what generations of lawmakers did before them and respect the public records law.” At the very bottom is NC Local’s burgundy and white logo.

Earlier this week, all I wanted to do was fold laundry, bake cupcakes & organize the junk drawer. Chatting with Sam helped get me out of my funk. Learn about vicarious resilience, why we don't have to treat the next 4 years as a breaking news story & ways to make newsroom jobs more sustainable. ⬇️

Are you one of those journalists asking if you have the stamina to keep doing this work? This week, we chat with API's Sam Ragland about how to find value in your work and build resilience in newsrooms for the months and years ahead: nclocalnewsworkshop.org/news-leader-...
A burgundy and white quote card with a lightened opacity image in the background of two hands planting a green seedling. The quote is from Sam Ragland, is in white font and reads: "What I'm talking about may not create a donor immediately. What I'm talking about may not create an article for your website immediately. But it will shore you up. It will remind you why you're doing this work. It will refill your resilience bank. It will connect you with people in a way that enables you to push forward."
