Tackling imposter syndrome and internship application advice
Like this newsletter and my work? Please consider leveling-up to a paid subscription for Q&As with journalists, career advice from me and — by popular demand — photos of Maggie.
Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.
💪 Tackling imposter syndrome: Isabella Grullón Paz of The New York Times asked on Twitter, “Can any established career journalists give advice on how you ease your imposter syndrome?”
Lots of journalists chimed in with thoughtful feedback about therapy; finding a great support system in friends, colleges and editors; and keeping track of the praise you receive.
I especially loved the response from Rana Cash, Savannah Morning News news director and USA TODAY Network Georgia executive editor:
“When people tell you that you’re deserving, believe them. Remind yourself — often — of all of the work you put in to complement your gifts. Be humble. Be grateful. And keep working.”
👀 Improving internship applications: Gwendolyn Wu of the Houston Chronicle tweeted an excellent thread sharing internship application dos and don’ts after the newspaper “received more than 250 applications for our summer 2021 internship this year.”
“Don’t regurgitate your resume in the cover letter… Tell us what’s driving you to be a journalist, and why Houston. Show us your personality. All of our final summer internship candidates did that in their letters.”
📝 Leveling up your mentorship game: S. Mitra Kalita wrote a piece for Fortune with 7 ways to be a better mentor, including using a set of guiding questions, elevating Black and brown talent and cultivating a pipeline of early career folks.
Want mentorship advice for mentees? Check out this thread I started last week featuring advice from Adriana Lacy, Senior Associate of Audience & Growth at Axios and founder the Media Mentors program for early career journalists, and Andrea González-Ramírez, Senior Staff Writer at GEN and founder of the Latinas in Journalism Mentorship Program.
Thanks for reading!

P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this week:
✨ The Boston Globe’s impeachment coverage: Yiqing Shao, Senior Digital Editor at The Boston Globe, tweeted “many years ago the @BostonGlobe rejected me for a design internship.” Last week she and her team built out a powerful homepage for President Trump's second impeachment.
🥦 ‘One-pot pasta with broccoli and lemon’: This two-step Martha Stewart recipe came in really handy when I forgot to get groceries and didn’t feel like cooking.
🐶 ‘Yelling is their passion’: Maggie is basically the dog in this Nathan W. Pyle web comic.
