Another day and more cuts as we hit peak journalism layoff season. Join Project C on Nov. 24th at 1 p.m. ET for a live session with real working indie journos to explore whether the creator economy path is right for you. luma.com/lcbckl7j

At #ISOJ2025, NPR CEO Katherine Maher spoke to this moment as @npr.org faces an existential threat. She also spoke about news influencers/creator journalists: "Glad we have new interlocutors who can take the news and make it relevant. There's more we can do to find partners in that space." 👏
