Just a quick note to anyone who is wondering about the weekly chat this week: the two of us who usually host the chat are at the People Publishing Conference 2018 this week and are about to go to a final panel for the day. We'll be resuming our regular programming next week!

Just wanted to say hi and welcome to everyone who has joined recently 👋. Please don't be shy, we'd love hearing more diverse voices and viewpoints more often, journalism and this community needs it!

Heyo. I'm John, EiC at TechNode.com. We're like techcrunch, but only cover china. I came upon Spectrum while researching online community tools. While I'm not sure it fits our needs, the app and community look pretty cool!

what's new

hey guys what is the latest trend within the community

yea yea, is this thing still alive?

@cogell

It is, it's just been a little quiet lately.

I've been consumed with work and preparations to launch a local publication, and a ton of other people are just lurking :)

@agurtovoy

yea, mate. I've lurked off and one for a while. I'll soon be starting as a product engineer at Patch so I've been starting to brush up on my journalism reading. I'll try to be more active here

@cogell

Nice, congrats, and yes, please don't be shy!

Is this still alive? :-)
