📚✨ I finally got two of the most thoughtful book recommendations from my brilliant mentor, Sandeep Ravindran — and I couldn’t be more excited!
These are not just books; they’re gateways to deeper insight, sharper storytelling, and a richer understanding of the world.

Learning never stops — and with the right guidance, it becomes even more meaningful.
Thank you, Sandeep, for always lighting the way. 🙏💡 @Open_Notebook

At TON, we also know that reporting these kinds of stories can carry an emotional toll, which @wudanyan covers in this feature.

And this story, from @Debkrol, about reporting well when covering stories about and within Indigenous communities. theopennotebook.com/2019/06/…
As well as this story from @myriam_vidalv, focused on finding local voices while avoiding parachute journalism. theopennotebook.com/2024/06/…
These reported features, Q&As, and roundtable interviews include this story from @Sophiehardach, on trauma-informed reporting. theopennotebook.com/2019/07/…
At The Open Notebook, we've created a set of free resources on finding and interviewing sources. theopennotebook.com/topic/fi…
Spend time with sources, connect with them as human beings, offer guardrails, consider whether you’re the right person to report the story. This and so many more gems at #SciWri24’s #BuildingTrust with @mendozamartha, @priyanka_runwal, @rpocisv, @EricBoodman, and others.
We also offer a free peer-mentoring program for local and general assignment reporters and editors who may not have a background in science but are interested in adding more scientific perspectives to their stories. theopennotebook.com/covering…
At The Open Notebook, we believe science stories are essential for addressing countless issues that affect local communities, and local journalists play a crucial role in this coverage and in building trust. Here are resources for covering science locally. theopennotebook.com/covering…
Weather stories are science stories, as we’re reminded at #SciWri24, where local reporters from Blue Ridge Public Radio, Helen Chickering and @stopitkatie discuss covering Hurricane Helene as local journalists also living through the catastrophe.

And, a brand new, expanded edition of our book, The Craft of Science Writing, with tips, tricks, advice, and so much more from the likes of @laurahelmuth, @KatherineJWu, @meghas and many many others. Join us for our launch party Sun at 6! Details in Whova. theopennotebook.com/the-craf…
