I graduate this summer, so I spoke with lots of international students to figure out how to land a journalism job in the US. Turns out interviews often end when recruiters find out candidates will need visa sponsorship. Offers have been rescinded. 🧵

My first story of 2023 is about the fascinating @newlinesmag. May 2023 be filled with more stories that are equally fun to report and write.
I had read New Lines before, but special thanks to @karimdoumar for being like "you should write about this" 🙏�niemanlab.org/2023/01/how-ne…wW

I’ve made six end-of-year predictions for @NiemanLab, starting in 2011. Let’s do a quick review!
2011: “Next year, Kindles, iPhones, and tablets will truly grow up” I think this one holds up pretty well! Among other things 2012 saw iPad 3/Kindle Fire.
