If you're a white journalist or someone with any level of privilege in journalism (ie: a prestige employer, a full-time job with benefits, a fair/livable wage for the city you live in, etc), today is a GREAT day to support someone who doesn't have that same privilege. (cont)

@seangriffey Most likely for contrast and readability when the lines overlap. Also, more contrast with the horizontal guide lines. Green is also the easiest color for the human eye to see, so it definitely draws the eye makes the lines “pop” visually.

I'm not a design nerd but still wonder why the WSJ uses green lines on a stock chart that is clearly down. Wouldn't a business audience expect it to be in red?

Sadly I am one of the many who found out their position was eliminated today. It has been an absolute honor to work with such a hardworking group of people. I have a lot to figure out. But if anyone is hiring, especially in the NYC area, please reach out.

NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note — which says the layoffs are because of “changes in the media business”

As journalists it often feels like we’re not allowed to have feelings and we have to put our work before ourselves. We forget we’re human beings and ourselves first. This needs to change. Let’s talk how at 11:30 am in Habor B. #NICAR24

Good morning, #NICAR24! @kboorath, @JasmineHanYe and I will be leading a commons session at 11:30 a.m. in Harborside B: “Taking care: Navigating our mental health as journalists.” This will be an off-the-record, roundtable-style discussion.

Attention newsrooms; Words matter. “Racially motivated” can mean a lot of things — or nothing. The Jacksonville shooting was a *racist* attack.
