Next week, we’re heading back to London for the Mozilla Festival, plus so many upcoming events.

Our regular biweekly roundup.

Sharing a data analysis is one tactic to open up your process and improve transparency. Showing your process to your audience, so long as you won’t burn any sources, is a great way to earn readers’ trust. It’s also a pathway to starting a conversation.

A starter pack of ideas for increasing the security of your digital footprint.

The Center for Cooperative Media has put together a guide to help you organize a 2020 Census workshop for local journalists.

Small local news organizations are increasingly scaling back their budgets for professional development—that is, if they pay for journalists to travel to conferences at all. To work on filling the gap, Northwest News Nerds runs data journalism conferences open to women and non-binary journalists in the Northwest. We wanted something aimed squarely at beat reporters in small and medium-sized newsrooms to show that data wasn’t just for the big kids with big budgets. We also saw a need for more spaces for women, especially women of color, to speak candidly to each other about the challenges they face in newsrooms.

A Q&A; with the team behind Houston’s first homicide report, a cross-team collaboration that altered how different areas of the newsroom worked together.

ONA is this week (and we’ll be there), plus IRE is looking for your NICAR ideas now.

On the difficulty of journalism professionals arranging night and weekend care for their children and how employers, allies, conference conveners and other parents can help.

The solution to the horse-race coverage trap that is all too easy for newsrooms to fall into is what Jay Rosen of NYU describes as the “citizens agenda” approach. This involves turning to the citizens themselves before starting down the campaign trail and making a commitment to cover the issues that matter the most to them.

The Media Party’s back, plus a bunch of opportunities to help you and your newsroom.

How we ended up with more applicants than we expected, a diverse list of finalists, and a shocking amount of unsolicited positive feedback.

Project support program application from Freedom of the Press, plus a batch of events this week.

Attending SRCCON transformed my own perspective on teaching by demonstrating how popular education strategies benefit professional journalists—and you can also use these strategies in newsrooms and journalism.

Lots of conferences to plan for over the next month, plus upcoming deadlines like for NICAR 2020.

At the end of 2018, as Chicago faced a historic election with a wide-open mayoral race and all 50 city council seats on the ballot, a group of independent newsrooms decided to try something unprecedented with their election coverage: collaborate.

Lots of deadlines this week: today for CAR Boot Camp scholarships and Thursday to pitch to the Mozilla Festival.
