A count down to the year's top readings and resources
Happy (almost) New Year!
To count down to 2026, I did a content analysis of the top readings and resources subscribers engaged with throughout 2025. Here’s the first five of 10 top items read by you and curated by me.
No. 10
‘Laid off to launch: A toolkit for journalists’: Katie Hawkins-Gaar helped assemble an impactful resource for News Revenue Hub published in January, aimed at helping journalists who’ve been impacted by layoffs, walking them through how to navigate everything from reviewing severance to updating resumes to learning new skills and more.
No. 9
‘WTF are GEO and AEO? (and how they differ from SEO)’: Jessica Davies wrote an explainer in May for Digiday about the ways publishers’ content can appear in AI answer engines and what organizations might want to consider about serving readers on these platforms.
No. 8
‘What is zero-click search?’ Jessie Willms and Shelby Blackley explained in their WTF is SEO? newsletter in September “what publishers need to know about zero-click search and how news SEOs are reacting.”
No. 7
‘19 great journalism and media newsletters to start reading’: PR Newswire’s Beyond Bylines blog rounded up in May a series of industry newsletters worth exploring, including Axios Media Trends, WTF is SEO? and this one!
No. 6
‘How to handle a job market that’s worse than it looks’: Callum Borchers wrote for The Wall Street Journal in September that “it’s time to change your attitude and approach as the gloomier employment picture comes into focus.”
+ Also from WSJ: ‘The secret to getting promoted quickly at a new job’
+ Also from WSJ: ‘The “best and final” job offer usually isn’t final’
Thanks for reading!
