@martinscott, Mel Bunce and I have a new book out! I'm experimenting with promoting this on Mastodon rather than the Blue Bird, so all boosts would be *very* much appreciated. The book is the product of 5 years of research and 150 interviews and is free to access. Just click on link and scroll to bottom of pg, then click on 'free access' button.. https://www.routledge.com/Humanitarian-Journalists-Covering-Crises-from-a-Boundary-Zone/Scott-Wright-Bunce/p/book/9781032407678 #ICAcommunity #commodon #journalism @ICAHDQ @academicchatter @victorpickard @Chanders @claesdevreese @nanjala

@karengregory Will do x

@bethanyklein I have an elderly, affectionate and very sleepy cat. Has worked well after Boy graduated to big bed (is 13 soon, so that was some time ago...)
