Let's test my Mastodon network.

If you're a grad student (MA or PhD) at NYU who wants to help local journalism surivive, and who might want to take a course with me... this is a heads up.

Spring semester, my students and I have a nifty project planned with a local news startup in NYC. We are looking to add people to the project from different discplines. Tech, data, design, city planning, NY politics, local life.

Forward If you know someone at NYU who should know. My email is on my profile.

@jayrosen_nyu is this open to non nyu students? im a designer and would love to help!
@podpaige Sorry, no. Just NYU students.

@jayrosen_nyu

Boy do I wish I was a grad student there. That sounds like a lot of fun.

@jayrosen_nyu NYU alumna here. Wanted to state how much I love your work.
@jayrosen_nyu
Looks like your Mastodon network is doing quite well, @jayrosen_nyu. Better than Twitter ?
@inklings Certainly competitive with Twitter, yes.
@jayrosen_nyu
That’s great. Everyone seems to enjoy a higher engagement rate here.
@jayrosen_nyu Is ‘the Arts’ included in ‘local life?’ Last time I visited the Big Apple the arts were a pretty big deal.

@jayrosen_nyu
We are also not NYU students but would love to hear more about your project.

@jayrosen_nyu Always wanted to attend NYU. Just wasn’t in the cards as they say. Have a good day.
