@NUJ_LFB Thank you!

@TimothyHolmes I was specifically thinking of the Quartz Green Haven project — qz.com/se/green-haven/ — which I was hearing about at #HHLdn (online edition).
@kittywenham To make Dido Harding richer, obvs.
@MartinSFP And deters the non-commercially minded from deluging them with DNS support requests, presumably. It seems a pretty clear way of disincentivizing everyone from doing it.
@MartinSFP If you have a spare $50 lying around…
Well now. Substack is adding custom domains for everyone (which is good), but is changing $50 to do it (which is not). A way of heading off or offsetting the inevitable support pain as people struggle with DNS settings? blog.substack.com/p/new-add-a-cu…
It’s almost like helming a new media startup is a completely different still set from running an existing big media business… 🤔 wsj.com/articles/quibi…
This does make me think: we have somewhat narrowed our definition of journalism, if you were to compare today’s products with the journals of the 19th century. Speculative fiction journalism, rooted in the research of today, but contextualising it, is really interesting. #hhldn
It’s certainly important we move from self-flagellation journalism to more constructive solutions journalism on #ClimateChange. I’m not 100% convinced by the Quartz approach here, but it’s a helluva interesting experiment.
And we need more of those.

Sadly, I think the need to solve for single person newsrooms will be of increasing importance for the next decade or so. #hhldn
I just started looking for some data for a lecture, and the third result was one of my own blogposts, which had exactly the information I needed.
Thank you, past me. I must remember to be as kind to future me.

@chrismsutcliffe @Flipping_Pages And surely a journalist should realise the value of subs?
If you’re going to write 500 words summarising a report, you could at least do the reader the courtesy of linking to the original.

The garden office as ‘sanity shed’ is a nice idea for those privileged enough to have both the money and the garden space to do it.

@cjmaill It doesn’t need to be prominent always - it’s just annoying when I can’t easily establish if what I’m reading was published yesterday or a decade ago.
@rapella Interesting.
I know it’s a thing some SEOs like to recommend, but I do find webpages with no publication date on them immensely annoying as a user.
Interesting piece. The start of a shift from “proximity to work” to “proximity to lifestyle amenities” as a major determining factor in residential choices?

I’m trying an experiment. I’ve switched my default search engine on my iPhone to DuckDuckGo, and will see how I get on.
