Journalists: We have a leadership pipeline problem. Getting into management is a little mysterious, and once you're there, there's little to no training.
We @teamtrace, a small non-profit outlet focused on investigative work, are trying to address it. #Jobopen (1/3)
Exciting news: We're launching a two-year fellowship for early- to mid-career journalists looking to establish themselves as editors.
