Congratulations and good luck to @ManveenRana - one of our earliest supporters - for her new podcast for @thetimes. It’s a classy listen, and it’s only Day One. overcast.fm/+Yeyj88FlY

Just a week to go until this, longform fans!
Live journalism is on the rise - could it be part of the future for journalists? Come and experience the first Scrollfest in London on 13 March & see what an evening of live longform could be like. Tickets at scrollfest.live @cijournalism @shorthand #longform
