An internet subsidy program that connects 23M households is about to run out of money if Congress doesn't act. I spent two months reporting how this program's sunset will affect everyday Americans like Dorothy, Brandee and Debra. Please give it a read! emergingtechbrew.com/stories…

The journalist and friend who first hired me is now hirable! Nab her talents while you can!
After more than four years at NowThis, I was laid off last week, along with a number of my incredible colleagues. I started as NowThis’ sole copy editor, and I leave having built and led a copy team I believed in so deeply, which will forever be a career highlight.

Shayna will literally edit your tweets if they’re wrong
Replying to @isaposses
While it feels surreal that this chapter is over, I’m actively looking for what’s next, so if you need someone to edit, write, fact-check or work on editorial standards, l’d love to chat here or at [email protected]. Until then, I’ll just be silently editing your posts, sorry.

Shayna is TRULY the best and I’m glad we could actually *start* a copy desk at a new media startup And now, this.
After more than four years at NowThis, I was laid off last week, along with a number of my incredible colleagues. I started as NowThis’ sole copy editor, and I leave having built and led a copy team I believed in so deeply, which will forever be a career highlight.

Shayna is the a thorough, conscientious, and thoughtful copy editor, a kind and funny human, and someone I’m lucky to call a good friend. It takes a special person to have a job that is all critique and be one of the most loved and respected people in the newsroom. Hire her!

one of the best people i've ever worked with. 100/10 recommend hiring her. (first posted this without the quote tweet. awkward.)

Aryana is truly the perfect copy editor. She's diligent, thoughtful and wholly committed to making pieces the best they can be — and she can write, too, which shines through in her edits. I miss working with her already, and you'd better snap her up immediately.
NowThis laid off a large chunk of its newsroom today, myself included. I’m proud of what we accomplished there. I was a copy editor at NT, but I also have years of reporting and senior editing experience. Open to any work in those areas, & any tips are appreciated. DMs are open!

My time at #NowThis has come to an end. After 8 1/2 years there, I got laid off today along with many other talented people. I’m also locked out of everything. So now I’m looking for a job - any opps would be gratefully welcomed. Here are some of my fav things I worked on 🧵

Hi I just got laid off from my job at NowThis. I’m locked out of my email and my computer so I didn’t even know until a coworker texted me. I worked there for 6+ years as a senior writer and I worked very hard there. I’ll post a bunch of stuff I worked on but I need a job :-)

After 8.5 years at NowThis, I was laid off today along with many of my talented colleagues. I’ve produced thousands of videos and connected w/ so many amazing people. It was rough finding this out at 1AM, but I am excited to see what’s next for me. Until then my DMs are open.
