I got into journalism because it's a public service. This project epitomizes that, & it’s just the start.
✨Service journalism announcement!✨
Today, we published the first batch in a series of solutions-oriented pieces designed to help you navigate work-related challenges in these unprecedented times.

When you run out of puzzles in quarantine, @WSJ has you covered wsj.com/graphics/wsj-jigsaw-…
The thinking behind this makes me happy. Kudos to @elliot_bentley!
Really excited to once again share something else that's new @WSJ with y'all (and this one is AH-MAZING):
The WSJ Jigsaw Puzzle, made by @elliot_bentley

A different kind of crisis warrants a different kind of bailout, from @andrewrsorkin @dealbook nyti.ms/2U1J9zY
Needed this. Thank you, @gloriagaynor bit.ly/2Qd2AUt
This Daily series is worth every minute to understand what's happening in Europe. It surprised me, made me cringe, & most importantly exposed me to new perspectives nyti.ms/2MNIDUE Kudos to @kbennhold, @lynsea & @claretoenis!
For content, "agile prioritizes meeting user needs over following a plan...delivering progress over reporting progress." @padmasaysblah's presentation on @GatherContent is def worth a watch bit.ly/2WdU8II
It's time to take note of our digital carbon footprint—a wise warning from @gerrymcgovern bit.ly/2LVa1Q6
Priority guides: What they are, why to use them, & how to make them (all before, or instead of, wireframes) bit.ly/2TTf6st
The @NYTimes formula for good newsletters: "Know your audience, have an expert write it, design it beautifully, maintain it w/ best practices in mind, &, perhaps most important, 'offer something valuable that you can't get anywhere else.'" nyti.ms/2LcQbLp
.@ProPublica still stands as the best place I've worked & a great team of nerds to learn from & be a part of. Here's to another 10 years making an impact! xitter.cf/dancow/status/10068845…
10 years ago @propublica, the only (official) nerds were @kkjschmidt, @kleinmatic, and me (a few months later). Now everyone is pretty much a nerd:

#ContentStrategy at the intersection of content design & systems design in @BrainTraffic's updated quad. In my experience, most problems/hiccups have stemmed from a lack of focus on systems design bit.ly/2rkXhps
In related news, still among my leadership goals: the ‘Shalane Flanagan Effect’ nyti.ms/2hrFziv
We have some amazing U.S. women (& marathoners) at the top of their game. So inspired by @des_linden & @ShalaneFlanagan!! xitter.cf/shalaneflanagan/status…
Krista K. Schmidt retweeted
Marathon and all running, really, in a nutshell from post-race @des_linden — “I didn’t feel great l, thought I was gonna drop out but I didn’t and then I WON!”
“You’re stronger than you think you are.” — Running, to us. Always.
Worth a read on the need to address gender imbalances of sources in news stories: "I assumed that my passive concern would be enough. Passive concern never is." theatln.tc/2Eqh26G
This story of @CoogansNYC, being forced to close & then being saved by the community it cared about for so many years, makes me so happy bit.ly/2EcAGAH
This from @webmeadow on the new podcast @noyougoshow (you should listen!) is sticking w/ me: "Why should my work get all of my best brain?" bit.ly/2BwsXKF
