👀 ‘Navigating media layoffs’: The Lenfest Institute’s Solution Set newsletter recently shared five pieces of advice about coping with layoffs from Meena Thiruvengadam, a writer, editorial consultant and content strategist.
“Over the past 20 years in media, one thing I’ve learned is just about everyone goes through this at least once in their journalism careers,” she wrote. “It sucks, but it checks out. None of us are indispensable, not forever.”
