We're biased, but last weekend's story from @Rashikaisme is worth the monthly subscription alone. 😉

Nowadays, journalists in the making don't only have to worry about whether they use the Oxford comma. Their social media accounts are also under the microscope. Daysha Loppie spoke to some journalists to find out how they're handling this shift. readpaperplane.com/issue-10-journ…

If you missed us, don't worry. We're back! Paper planes also need to land for a re-fuel every now and then. What's our fuel, you ask? Journalism! Here's a round up of what you missed:
The team over at Social Hazard put together a 🔥 minisode for us. Non-subscribers can now listen on their Spotify page!

You love to see it. Thanks Brent!
Although 2020 has been a pretty rotten year, I'm continually heartened by the work young journalists are doing to blaze new trails in our industry. That's why I've subscribed to @ThePigeon & @ReadPaperPlane. Excellent work & looking forward to powerful storytelling in 2021! 🌟🍾
Are you a non-student subscriber of @ReadPaperPlane? I would love to chat with you about it for a story I am working on. DMs open.
