Resource of the week

A publication pushing the boundaries of journalism, Atavist

Sometimes I like to share practical guides to help your day to day work. Other times, I share things to inspire you. This is the latter.

I’ve been inspired by one of our subscribers and will be sharing her story soon (you know who you are!) Inspiring journalism is such a big motivator for my writing.

This week’s resource a perfect example of modern, digital journalism done right.

This series of true crime pieces is one of the CRAZIEST stories I’ve ever read. It’s got everything: tech, crime, drugs, murder, and more!

The piece is a masterful work of art and storytelling. I love this type of thing.

Check it out here

Longform podcast

If you like the article, you’ll love the interviews with writers behind the stories.

A couple of my favourites:

• Ta-Nehisi Coates right after his book, Between the World and Me came out

• William Finnegan, his story in Barbarian Days makes you want to pack everything up and become a beach bum surfer

Give them a listen here or on your podcast app

Alright, let’s get onto the opps!
