Trainings for journalists around the census and product strategies

Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.

👀 ‘Want a new job in news? Here’s how to get started’: I talked to Poynter’s Samantha Ragland about advice for journalists who are starting a job search after they’ve been at the same company for a while.

💻 Free course on ‘product strategies for journalism’: Audience Strategist Adriana Lacy will be leading the Knight Center’s next massive open online course titled “Product strategies for journalism: How to align editorial, audience, business and technology.” The free month-long course starts on Aug. 23.

‼️ Hundreds of jobs at CNN, NBC News and CNET: Elana Zak, soon to be of Politico, tweeted a reminder that “CNN is adding 450 people for CNN+,” “NBC News is adding 200+ jobs” and “CNET is hiring for ~150 new roles.”

📊 ‘Census stories beyond the numbers’: Poynter is hosting a free, one-hour webinar to “help journalists prepare to cover the changing demographics of their communities” as the Census Bureau prepares to release stats from the 2020 census.

📱 ‘Online Violence Response Hub’: A new project from the International Women’s Media Foundation and the International Center for Journalists will serve as a “resource center where women journalists can come to find the latest information on online abuse and harassment.”

Thanks for reading!
