So true. If you treat them well, and don't get them in trouble, they'll be your best sources for years. So often, I've seen young, ambitious journalists walk into a new beat and burn sources before they've even formed a relationship. One of the most important parts of being a good journalist is building and fostering those relationships, so when something significant does happen, you're not completely blocked out. Act with integrity, treat them like people with real jobs to lose, and remember, there can be consequences for others as a result of your actions. That is NOT something to take lightly in the name of your career. Being a respected journalist isn't about counting A1 bylines; it's about being the person people go to when a story NEEDS to be told. Having the trust of your readers, as well, means that if YOU say it, they know to pay attention. If you don't have that, you have nothing. Remember that daily for your entire career. Respect that responsibility. The success will follow. #journos #journalism

New Job at NABJcareers.org Senior Writer, Policy, The Verge: New York, New York Vox Media WHO WE ARE The Verge is an ambitious multimedia effort founded in 2011 to examine how technology will change life in the future for a massive mainstream audience. The Verge is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible. As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships. The Verge's policy team is dedicated to illuminating how politics, law, and regulation affect the technologies that shape readers' lives — and how technology is shaping all those fields as well. As a US presidential election approaches, the Supreme Court prepares to take on online speech challenges, and EU regulation changes the basic operating principles of services like iMessage, we're delving into the goals of politicians, regulators, and activists; weighing the intended and unintended consequences of their efforts; and looking for the nuance behind the biggest issues of the day.    WHAT YOU’LL DO The Verge is looking for a senior reporter to cover the policy and politics of technology, including the 2024 US elections and beyond. You’ll spend your days finding big stories and breaking down enormously complex topics around technology lawmaking and more.  Senior reporters at The Verge are responsible for working with editors to identify and maintain a beat, then proactively generating stories on that beat. As tech policy reporter, your duties will be a mix of reporting on the news of the day and digging into longer-lead investigations that will drive news cycles of their own.  Your responsibilities will include: * Developing your beat with coverage from news to larger reports and analysis. * Working across our teams to find and explain stories around tech policy. * Develop and nourish sources in the communities being affected by tech policy and with the companies and activists working for better tech policy. * Proactively pitch news and analysis, and help vet stories. * Help us maintain our collaborative and ambitious team culture.   WHO YOU ARE You care deeply about politics and policy because of what they mean for people. You have a vision for strong, focused election coverage that doesn’t just report what candidates are telling voters, but presses them for the answers that matter — on topics ranging from online speech to the future of the FCC to the… See more jobs on the NABJ Career Center at NABJCareers.org #NABJJobAlerts

I **love** using TikTok and I do well on Meta platforms. I should switch to #journalism and apply. Look how many people are getting their news from TikTok these days. Crazy, right? Actually, I'm a happy #PR consultant and plan to stick with this profession. I highly recommend TikTok. I rank TikTok a 10 out of 10 on the quality of what flows through my feed and how easy and fun it is to get decent engagement. I was kicked off of Twitter/X a couple of years ago and lost 300,000 impressions a month as a result. My first TikTok video garnered around 1,000 views. I have only a few followers at around 100 but the views are decent! I know there are issues about all social media privacy, etc, so be careful! I need something to blog about next. I might talk about #X versus TikTok. X is so depressing these days: A bit too much misinformation and name-calling, and so on. X just makes me sad.

NAHJ Career Center New Job Business Editor: Dallas, Texas The Dallas Morning News The Dallas Morning News seeks an ambitious and versatile editor to drive our business coverage to the next level in one of America’s fastest-growing regions. Texas’ population just crossed the 30 million mark and demographers predict it’ll grow to nearly 40 million by 2036 — the equivalent of adding a city the size of Austin every year for the next decade. That explosive growth touches every facet of life for those living, working and playing here, as well as the soon-to-arrive transplants.

Dallas-Fort Worth is home to two dozen Fortune 500 companies, nearly 80 publicly traded companies with more than $1 billion in revenue, two major airports and two of the industry’s biggest airlines, five major league sports teams and literally thousands of other firms representing every segment of the economy. We’re looking for an editor who can lead a team of skilled business reporters to connect and dissect these topics into urgent, aggressive and revelatory journalism that illuminates the challenges ahead for our region.  The successful candidate will be comfortable working with data and records, have a strong understanding of social media and digital metrics, and have a passion for growing our online audience. The ability to manage a team to produce a balance of enterprise and daily news coverage is a must-have trait. This editor will oversee one of the largest regional business news teams in the country. You will be supported by an assistant editor and manage 10 reporters covering real estate, retail, transportation, airlines, diverse communities, health and breaking/trending business news.  This editor must have impeccable news judgment, strong leadership and organizational skills and the ability to manage change. In addition, this leader should be devoted to the growth and development of all News staffers and to DEI efforts.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my near decade in newsroom management and the mistakes I made. It’s a stressful job that moves at break-neck pace, but I wish I had the perspective I do now that would have made me a better manager. I think often of the ones who fell through (or who I pushed through) the cracks: The smart young producer crippled by the anxiety of a rundown meeting. The aspirational reporter forced into a producer role that was a terrible match. Inexperienced journalists with investigative dreams not quite ready for that big get. The time constraints and pressure of putting on 10 hours of news a day were always at odds with the individual goals of many in the trenches in daily news life, but I wish I had tried harder to not let the daily grind get in the way of encouraging young dreamers. I fought with upper management often about considering peoples’ feelings as a factor in all decision-making, was frequently told I was too emotionally involved… but I could’ve done a better job of pausing amidst the onslaught of daily deadlines to provide more support. I hate to think that, for some, their days working under my management were the hardest of their career. Sure, you can say “They’re stronger because of it” or “They weren’t cut out for local tv news.” And that all may very well be true, but that doesn’t make it right. If I could go back, WHICH I NEVER WOULD, I’d give that smart new producer more space, time and support to find his own way and protect him from the harsh criticism of other leaders just trying to get a product on air. I’d take the hit and let that young aspiring reporter try a few more stories and work to find a better fit for her that didn’t require her to do a job she hated. Why not just fill the 4:00 B-block with re-run fluff from the noon? And I’d take a few more risks letting reporters try for those lofty stories knowing good and well they wouldn’t make slot and may never even see the light of day, Because in the grand scheme of things, my impact had the potential to last well beyond the evening news, and I regret often putting the evening news first. #TVNews #FormerJournalist
