Count down to the new year with the top resources from 2024.
Happy (almost) New Year!
To count down to 2025, I did a content analysis of the top readings and resources subscribers engaged with throughout 2024. Here’s the first five of 10 top items read by you and curated by me.
No. 10
‘How to succeed as a news SEO’: The
newsletter published interviews with SEO leaders from NBC, Vox, The Washington Post and more in March and shared their advice on “on how to be a high-achieving newsroom SEO.”+ Subscribe to the WTF is SEO? newsletter
No. 9
‘Why the “make yourself indispensable” job advice is a trap’: Monica Torres wrote for HuffPost in February about the “glaring problems with this supposed wisdom” and shared three ways career and leadership coach Phoebe Gavin said “professionals can focus on building their layoff resiliency.”

No. 8
‘These mental saboteurs could derail your reporting’: Alexandra Zayas of ProPublica wrote for Poynter in July about “advice for facing down the self-doubt that can paralyze your journalistic process.”
No. 7
‘Journalists, we need to rethink how we fight burnout’: Kristen Hare wrote for Poynter in January about what burnout is, how journalists can experience it and strategies for dealing with it.
No. 6
‘Journo job hunting pro tips’: Rhema Thompson Bland, Deputy Director of News Talent, Culture & Training for McClatchy, shared several pieces of advice on LinkedIn earlier this year for those searching for jobs, including doing research on potential employers, preparing questions for interviews and making time to take care of yourself.
P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this year:
‘Money-saving tips’: The NPR Life Kit newsletter came through with multiple reminders on “how to cut costs, pay down debt and save more money in 2024.”
‘Where did all the money go?’ Julia Carpenter wrote as part of a series for The Wall Street Journal on improving your personal finances in 2024 that “financial advisers say to fix your overspending, stop blaming inflation.”
