At @wearekinzen I've been fielding a few questions this week from platform partners on how to monitor extremism on fringe platforms. Top of mind is safety. So I pulled together a short guide: kinzen.com/blog/staying-safe… Thoughts and additions welcome.

You know you did something right when the company you invested in peaks during global crisis🤗#proudinvestor
Audience engagement in COVID news coverage [thread]: When an entire crisis depends on people’s ability to take care of each other, awareness of what your community needs should be at least as important to newsrooms as speed - and even reach. 1/ #engagedjournalism #coveringcovid

I’ve done a little reporting for @nytimes ... I’ve been reported on in @nytimes ... but most exciting I’ve helped change @nytimes reporting process nytimes.com/2019/11/27/reade… I know it’s still seen as unbecoming for women to puff their professional feathers but fuck it. I’m proud.

Hvis man tror på differentiering som konkurrenceparameter på arbejdsmarkedet er her en oplagt mulighed for journalister - "Kun 10 procent af de journalister, der tog en efteruddannelse i 2018, har haft fokus på involvering i deres valg af uddannelse" - journalistforbundet.dk/nyhed…

And if anyone should ever doubt, “Care for a ride in my mini-van?” is THE pickup line for professionel start-up funding! 🚎🕺
What happens when a founder tells an investor she doesn't want his money? What *is* the valuation on democracy? What happens when I try to pitch @wearehearken to a group of VCs? Find out on the answers to this + more on week's episode of @thepitchshow gimletmedia.com/the-pitch/ca…

I am so proud of @elvialimon who was just named the @dallasnews’ Digital Innovator of the Year for her work with #CuriousTexas at our annual Journalists of the Year awards. I love being Elvia’s editor and I cannot say enough about her work for readers in North Texas.

“... listening is becoming an increasingly rare skill, you’ll be a standout if you make the effort.” Hear that, newsroom staff? How to Be a Better Listener nyti.ms/2He1HHw?smid=nytcore… (ICYMI: Hearken means “listen.”)

According to @MichaelEPorter creating shared value in ecosystem structures is a new imparative for sustainable growth - @MediaCityBergen is a leading showcase of what that looks like. Thanks @RikkeBekker @tafkal @Ralfandersson @fiwa for great company during todays visit🙏🙌
