🎉 So, only a few years late to the party (and firmly channelling the early 2000's with an actual blog), I have finally created my own website. There is still work to be done, but I am excited to at last have my own little corner of the internet 📰📸✍️

Visiting #Oxford tomorrow - just for the joy rather than work - and wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Planning on doing a self-guided literary trail, taking in all my faves (Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and Pullman), but anything else i should see?
In which I write about imposter syndrome - and having imposter syndrome about writing about imposter syndrome. 😅

For the record, i asked an AI tool how it would define the opposite of "strong, down to earth and spicy" - as this 'Men's Tea' purports to be - and it came back with "weak, aloof and bland".
Because it's not like rail fares in the UK are already expensive or that we have a climate crisis or anything like that...

🌍 How can journalism contribute to addressing the world's most pressing environmental issues while also inspiring people?
@afpfr and @FR_Conversation collaborated to investigate the nine planetary boundaries that are critical to humanity's survival. This project was funded by the Solutions Journalism Accelerator and it includes creating podcasts and articles that helped people understand these complex issues.

In the latest edition of Buying Power, I wrote about the state of print magazines, which is bad. But also, maybe it's better than you think? Print's not dead, but it is a luxury good and status symbol now: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

if you made it through this year paying the bills (or got any commissions at all, no matter how few) from freelancing, then tap yourself on the back. industry hit a bleak nadir in 2024 and you did something special being able to compete in any way; it's a remarkable achievement
