@JayneLut Anna is the best, so you should indeed be flattered!
@JayneLut It’s not the self-image I hold — but I have a suspicion that they might be right… t.co/eDrjTlQR3…

Just an opinion piece, but a well-argued one, that points out how the government’s boosterish words are not being matched by action. nytimes.com/2021/10/01/opi…

In 48 hours I will be back in London for the first time in 18 months, meeting an actual cohort of @cityjournalism MA students face-to face.
It feels slightly unreal after the last couple of years.
@iroughol @niccitalbot I’ve never been. I finally got my ducks in a row (childcare with my wife, no courses running during those days) to go…
…in 2020.

There’s something quite nice about a day so wet and blustery that you feel no guilt at all about just chilling out in the house. t.co/FgM3ItVpd… 
Interesting attempt to justify the value of the herd mentality in society. I’m not sure I’m convinced, but it’s worth a read…

I see the inevitable 15.0.1 update is out for your Apple device bug-fixing pleasure…
It feels like a crunch is coming in the UK petrol crisis in my part of the country, at least. Those people who have held off filling up, as their needs were less urgent, are beginning to run out of fuel.
And the situation is not easing, as promised.
However, the great news is that I have a wonderful new co-lecturer. And she knows what the module needs — because she took it back in 2013.
It’s delightful to welcome @Metrouk’s @smurraymorris back as a colleague, rather than a student. I can’t wait to get started.
Sometimes, sad news leads to good. I’ve had a fantastic run of co-lecturers on our audience module on the MA Interactive journalism @cityjournalism: @JTownend, @benwhitelaw and finally @SarahMarshall until this year (with @BethAshton covering for Sarah’s maternity).
@SarahPilchick Don’t burst my little bubble of hopeless optimism that the industry might change.
You have to wonder if even the most basic thought was given to the potential impact of having this pushed to people’s phones. twitter.com/benwhitelaw/st…

The deadlines of my working life used to be defined by when the presses needed to roll. Now, they’re defined by school pick-up time.
