@SandyKendell@mastodon.education It’s amazing what they do today. I’ve been so excited about getting this done. Such an easy thing, too!

Let's test my Mastodon network.
If you're a grad student (MA or PhD) at NYU who wants to help local journalism surivive, and who might want to take a course with me... this is a heads up.
Spring semester, my students and I have a nifty project planned with a local news startup in NYC. We are looking to add people to the project from different discplines. Tech, data, design, city planning, NY politics, local life.
Forward If you know someone at NYU who should know. My email is on my profile.
