| Do You Have What It Takes to Lead the Fabulous Virtual Client Connections Program? We Need You!
|
    |
ASJA
Our organization is powered by incredible volunteers — people who step up to run our very successful programs (such as SIGs, Client Connections, Publications, and much more). It's not surprising when it comes time to pass the torch, though! We are looking for one or two people to take over Virtual Client Connections, which is currently in the excellent and capable hands of longtime ASJA member Kristine Hansen.
The hundreds of you who have benefitted from successful encounters thanks to VCC may not know that while a lot of work goes into the planning and execution of these programs, we are a well-oiled machine! Several years of figuring out the best processes have made it much easier to lead this event. One new thing we are currently trying is bundling two events at once: We are signing up clients for both the June & October events, to cut down on the amount of work. So far, this is working really well, and some editors are signing up for both!
What's in it for you? A chance to pay it forward, a chance to connect directly with clients as you help set this up, a chance to lead a team of fabulous volunteers, and more.
Want to know more about what's involved? Please contact Kristine directly, and she'll give you the scoop: kristinehansenwriter@gmail.com.
We can't run our programs without a steady influx of helpers. Please consider joining our team!

Writer's Digest
I encourage both novice writers and veteran ones to attend writer’s conferences. I have learned so much, connected to some great people, and connected to literary agents and publishers by attending. For many writers, the experience can be both exciting and overwhelming. They find themselves surrounded by so many people who love reading, and most importantly, writing. It can make you feel small and insignificant, but read on and I will reveal a secret.

Entrepreneur
Who is an entrepreneur? Well, we all know anyone who creates a product or a design to provide a service, makes it useful and commercial and find ways to reach out to his target customers.
Now, who is an author? A couple of decades ago the definition of an author was purely one dimensional; a person who writes a book and is published by a publisher. However, the definition has now changed.

With self-publishing such an accessible platform, anyone who wants to write and produce a book can.
Self-publishing has its benefits. It eliminates the time-consuming cycle of targeting agents and editors, who may well say your project doesn’t fit their need. And while a major publishing imprint has definite cache, the perceived stigma of self-publishing has faded, thanks to the awareness of successful writers who have dabbled in the platform, including Michael Gerber and Stephen King.

Pew Research Center
At Pew Research Center, we’ve been asking Americans about their online news habits since the mid-1990s. Since then, the ways people get news online have changed a lot — and so have the ways we ask about it.
In 1996, for example, we asked Americans whether they got news about that year’s presidential campaign from “computer on-line sources.” Today, with more Americans often getting online news through mobile devices than computers, that question wording sounds dated (and clunky).

Poynter
When it was looking to uncover ownership information about the notoriously opaque German housing market, Correctiv didn’t tell readers what its reporters had found upon publication. The nonprofit German newsroom asked people to be involved much earlier, by doing things like sharing documents such as renter’s agreements and land property deeds via the research platform Crowdnewsroom. The result: an informative investigation into housing market trends. The “Who owns Hamburg?” project featured contributions from 1,000 people.
