Reimagine newsroom culture and build more sustainable workplaces
A bonus News Guest episode from last year's Independent News Sustainability Summit.
We’re excited to bring you a bonus News Guest episode this month featuring Charlottesville Tomorrow CEO and editor-in-chief Angilee Shah and The Markup editor-in-chief Sisi Wei, who gave a keynote talk at last year’s Independent News Sustainability Summit.
In this conversation, Shah and Wei discuss how to reimagine the culture of newsrooms to be more supportive and sustainable for the journalists who work in them.
Ready to get together again for more conversations like this one? Our next in-person event is only a few months away!
