One of the most valuable things I learned from a former WSJ managing editor and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, James B. Stewart, was a workshop based on his book "Follow the Story: How to Write Successful Nonfiction", which I recommend to students literally every year. Used paperbacks are like $5.

Hey @samreich.bsky.social I saw a clip where you mentioned the financials of Dropout. Do you think the same model would work for journalist outfits?

3. That we get shorts about the tiger and bird. And plushies.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

If you’re looking for a fun read in the midst of the CEO drama the main character of Nina Zina Walschots’ “Hench” is called ‘The Auditor.’ Highly recommend if you like superhero stories and Excel spreadsheets.
