Malden natives Anthony and Louis Maglione didn't like public TV... they loved it. So much so, that all of the $6 million in savings they accrued through blue-chip stock investments is being donated posthumously to @GBH. It is the largest unrestricted gift in our 71-year history.
ALT Today's GBH Mural in Boston reads: "Thank You, Anthony and Louis Maglione." The Maglione brothers posthumously donated the largest unrestricted gift in GBH's 71-year history.
Looking forward to a great conversation.
These folks are reinventing the traditional approach to newsroom operations — transforming workplace culture & giving staff more buy-in. #INNDays23

Another thought for my layoff 🧵
Jobs are jobs; people are people. The lines between the two can be blurred to varying degrees, but people are still people when jobs end. There’s income, employment, career. There’s passion, purpose, there’s … life.
Remember to BREATHE.
Great to be co-facilitating with @betterwphoebe and @leonorayala76 for our session The 3 R's of Job Loss, Recover, Restore, Return at this years @newsproduct Summit 2023. newsproduct.org/summit/form
I'm so excited to be presenting at the News Product Summit with my friends @JohnDavidow and @leonorayala76 on how to cope with and bounce back from layoffs.
The Summit programming is robust, comprehensive, and super actionable. I'm honored to take part.
Thanks @priskaneely for sharing your thoughts. One other piece of advice. Being laid off as a journalist, particularly these days, is not a reflection of who you are or what you're capable of. It's a reflection of a failed business model that is a threat to our democracy.

Invaluable resource on how the world changed twitter.
“Given the transformative role that @Twitter has had globally, any assessment of its impact must center international conversations in order to avoid the persistent and systematic underrepresentation of important, diverse narratives.”-@theodoraskeadas

News: NPR to lay off about 10 percent of its workforce.
CEO John Lansing says ad revenue for podcasting shriveled even as general economy seems on mend.
He promises NPR will build on its mission and values but adds, ""This will be a major loss."

Take @emmacarew advice! We all need to be reminded of the hard work ahead.
In which I predict that next year newsrooms will let off the gas pedal for diversify initiatives and work.
