Every month, I set aside one afternoon to write and reflect about my work and the media space more broadly in a newsletter. It's very helpful as an exercise to pause and reflect. I strongly recommend it.
This month, I wrote about some similarities between audience research and investigative reporting in their purest forms. Some wishful thinking around platform and vendor data certainty, in research along with performative aspects of both fields, has made the two drift apart. In reality, they're actually quite similar.
Journalism is much simpler than we make it out to be. It only gets complicated when we seek to perpetuate systems that aren't of service. This is the real opportunity right now: to disentangle and rebuild.
