Oh, man. SNO Distinguished Sites submissions have kicked into high gear, and you guys are really bringing it. Last week, Knight Errant, The BluePrint, The Rider, and The Patriot all earned their places on the list of 2017 SNO Distinguished Sites. And this week, The Lance and Central Digest each earned their fifth badge, putting […]
Creating Connections Journalism is, sadly, a fairly homogenous game: it’s mostly composed of white people. People of color are woefully underrepresented when it comes to newsroom demographics, and when it comes to leadership, the numbers are embarrassingly low. The Ida B.

It doesn’t feel much like winter in Minnesota (and we’re all secretly a little ok with that…) but that doesn’t stop the SNODrifts from piling up! Not real snow, of course.

You’ve figured out how to do some pretty cool stuff to make your page even more extra, and you’ve even figured out how to replicate and improve the Showcase Carousel and […]
Conscious Re-branding Well, we all know the president is waging a self-described “war” with the media. Cool. By “the media,” he means, like, all journalists. He’s made a habit of lambasting the media and, without irony, encouraging the American public to distrust journalists, whose job it is to tell the truth (if that doesn’t sound […]
Getting Ahead of the Game News media is experiencing a time of dramatic change (but really, hasn’t that always been the case?) and it never hurts to get in on the newest thing before everybody else does.
