If someone pitched the concept of NPR today, would it make sense? Besides the math, Radio Kansas says: “When we first chose NPR there were 4 TV channels, no internet and one public radio station on the dial…” you can access NPR anywhere now. radiokansas.com/npr-math/

Who else engages in this special form of torture where you reread emails for the upteenth time right AFTER you press send?

There's about a week left before applications are due for Online News Association's Women's Leadership Accelerator. I was in the 2022 cohort and learned (and keep learning!) so much from the many wonderful humans that I met through the program! Application link: ona.submittable.com/submit/df24f66…
