Encouraging to see another group of respected editors and journalists going their own way and trying to carve out a sustainable business model in an increasingly unsustainable industry. From 404 Media's about page: "Much has been written about the failing business model of new media. We have watched how new media companies fail, and it’s not because of a lack of audience, revenue, impact, or vital work. New media companies fail because of a growth-at-any-cost mentality, and venture capital investments made at absurd valuations. Most importantly, astronomical overhead costs make it impossible for journalists to out-earn the cost of expensive office space, the ever-changing whims of management, executives’ salaries, the cost of unnecessary enterprise software, and an endless parade of consultants brought in to figure out what’s wrong. It doesn’t have to be this way, and at 404 Media, it will not. We propose a simple alternative: pay journalists to do journalism."

💡 Content marketing - strategy and implementation ⭐️ Tailored content solutions that clarify your marketing messages
What's so cool about having a journalist on your content team? [Ad] 🤝 Feedback. I worked with people who could make Maleficent cry. Nothing your editors could say or do can offend me at this point. And most journalists have been through this. It's toxic, but it's been part of the job for years. I take the feedback and run with it; if I disagree with the edits, I'll let you know, but I'll still implement it because it's not a negotiation game. 🔬 Research. We dig. Google's page 4 or 5, friends, experts, Twitter — you name it. If we don't have sources, we know where to find them. And most importantly, we know how to check those sources so you don't publish unverified information. 🎤 Interviews. Journalists love talking to people and learning from them. And they can do it in all circumstances. I interviewed people at stadiums, prisons, police stations, fashion shows, and the Government. I can handle your subject matter experts. 🔎 Angles. We might not always have the best words, but we know how to pick our angles to make a story interesting. And trust me, there's always a story to tell — yes, even when all you've heard until now is that your product/business is boring. 💎 Clarity. We ask questions until we get to the bottom of it. It's frustrating sometimes, but it gets the job done faster. Those few extra questions you find annoying will save you precious time after the first draft is ready. ⌛️ Fast turnarounds. When I started, I had to get used to writing in the car or between press conferences, scheduled interviews, and meetings. Most journalists I know thrive on deadlines. (Don't make it a habit. Many left the job because of the work that must be completed yesterday.) 🚩 Boundaries. Or lack of it. Many of us leave journalism to have regular schedules and work-life balance. But destructive behaviors are hard to beat. So, a journalist will likely stay up late to finish work or jump on a last-minute task. It's like second nature. (Again, don't make it a habit, though.) And with that, we wrap up today's story. 🫶 Stay curious and stay informed.

Author of “Live Shot Hotshot,” a guide for news reporters and MMJs. Media and Communications Expert, helping journalists, corporations, government agencies, and charities find their authentic voice and message.
Technological Advances vs. Human Capability in News Gathering and its Relationship to Burnout (A Theory) I'm starting a discussion on what I see happening in our news industry because of the incredible technical advancements in how TV Journalists do their jobs. I believe that in many smaller and some other markets, MMJ's especially, are being asked to do too much. Our capability to do more-- has outstripped our physical and mental ability to keep up. Let me explain. In every other era of TV news, we had speed bumps which provided a natural workload limit for reporters and photographers. In the film days, you were limited by how expensive film was narrowing how much you could shoot, and limited by the time it took to develop the film and then physically edit it. When we moved to ENG (Electronic News Gathering) in the early 1980s you were limited in your output because few people had live trucks so you always had to drive back to the station to write and edit your piece. When most markets were able to get live trucks in the 1990s or even portable microwave stinger units, most reporters were still limited because editing still couldn't be done in the field (for most markets). Anyone else remember the days of feeding back your voice track, then sound bites, then b-roll so a poor editor could try to reassemble your story? Then we discovered we could out-fit edit bays into the live trucks and no longer did we really need help from the station to complete our story, but we still needed to transmit the story back to the station for playback, and we for the most part, needed technical assistance, in the form of an engineer, to help us establish a live signal and a photographer to set up a live shot. Now fast forward to today when cameras are smaller, you can edit on your laptop, and upload it to the station. And for liveshots? Now we have a small backpack that can do the job of what a huge vehicle and engineer used to do. By my count, an MMJ on a typical day is now doing the job of: Reporter, Photographer, Researcher, Editor, and Liveshot Engineer and in some cases Liveshot Photographer. And I've seen job postings that are asking MMJs to be able to turn up to 3 stories a day! Can you imagine penciling out how much time you have to research, drive, shoot, interview, write, edit, upload and then present three stories in an eight hour shift? When is there time for lunch? For a simple bathroom break? No longer do MMJs have the chance to process the story in their minds on the drive back to the station, or write the story while the photog finishes up getting shots or is driving to the next location. Our technical ability to cover more and more stories to fill more news hours has outpaced our physical ability to do it. Sure, any of us could do it for a while. But would you want to make a career out of it? And it's not just MMJs. Look at what producers do today! I'll talk about solutions next.

Important shoes need filling …
The War Horse News is searching for our next managing editor. After nearly four years, Kelly Kennedy will be transitioning to being a full-time author. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together, have learned so much from her, and look forward to seeing what she accomplishes next. During our time together, Kelly oversaw reporting that won two Murrow Awards and the RFK Human Rights Journalism Award, doubled our audience size, and helped us welcome our first two full-time reporters. My favorite memory is watching her interview the Secretary of VA at our inaugural War Horse Symposium last year. Thank you for everything, Kelly. Our next ME has big shoes to fill — this is an incredible opportunity to lead an ambitious newsroom team with a track record of impact and year-over-year growth within a declining industry. The remote position will pay $127,800 and includes a range of benefits. Learn more at the link below.

CEO & Founder @ Proof Point Communications | Strategic Branding & Communications. Former C-suite Executive and Award-winning Journalist. Talks about leadership, crisis PR, brands and whatever she feels like.
Exiting the first woman executive editor who led The Washington Post to 6 Pulitzers in 3 years in a one-graph email at 8:30pm on Sunday is the epitome of a communications fail. By numerous accounts, CEO Will Lewis was already talking with alternatives for weeks, so there was time to craft a communications plan showing respect for both departing Sally Buzbee and the thousand or so newsroom employees. That the New York Times was chasing the story (and in fact broke it in advance of the internal announcement) reflects how many people knew something was happening -- all the more reason to have a communications plan ready. Here's what they could've done: 1. Built an announcement timeline that included pre-notifying editors and senior staff so they're in position to answer questions from teams. 2. Draft an explanatory email (perhaps sans names) to discuss the organizational changes and why these changes are necessary at this time. Same messages shared with editors/senior staff to ensure consistency. This messaging needs to be supported by facts and figures. Not just, "it's not working" talk but specifically how we believe this new direction will reverse the trend. 3. They did well to hold an honest dialogue in the town hall the next day, but doubtful the Post's newsroom feels good right now about the news, the changes and the way they heard about it. What should happen next? Here's some thoughts: -Smaller sessions with various groups and teams to address ongoing concerns. -Elevating some long-time Post editors and reporters to bigger roles, making clear they aren't returning to the days of all white men running news organizations. -Building a culture of inclusion in editorial meetings, planning sessions and the new ways the company seeks to make revenue. Newsrooms and news people are tough to win over once trust is lost. Journalists are often cynical by nature, questioning by conditioning, a little idealistic in wishing for the best in people and situations, and can't do their jobs if they stop believing in the mission and the leadership. #media #communications #leadershipchanges
