Making complex things easy, multichannel storyteller, communicator, omnipotent in social media and marketing. And AI.
My very first job was at in a newsroom. In my first week there, I heard journalists pitch the most interesting topics to the editor. At one point, he replied: “nobody wants to read that.” At that moment I understood two things: 🗞️ What gets to be a story in the news, is a very random process, within the perspective of the people of power and based on their gutfeeling. Which is not a science nor data. 🗞️ What gets to be a story in the news, is based on a gutfeeling of sales. Not on important stories. That one moment was pivotal, because after that I could not unsee the randomness and the personal perspective in newsrooms. I am still a big consumer of the newsoutlets. But I don’t believe in some kind of scheme to underrepresent certain stories. I do believe more diversity within newsrooms, will get other stories to be told. What was your pivotal moment in your carreer, that showed you things you can’t unsee anymore? #carreer #bias #femalestories #diversity

So, let's champion merit and talent, ensuring our team feels seen, heard, and appreciated. That's how we keep the magic alive. #mondaythoughts #motivation #mondaymotivation #EncouragingEmpowerment

I find this very moving. Send Caleb your best tips! But I’ll take your leftovers
Hard to fathom, but it's been a decade since Bloomberg News hired me to help build a terminal function that tracks how much CEOs get paid. Dozens of people have helped me along the wild journey from there. Managers, editors, mentors, collaborators and confidantes, who have been patient, generous, brave and kind. Resources and room to run are both in short supply in the news business right now. I'm lucky to have landed in a robust newsroom filled with incredible reporters and editors who prioritize hard-hitting accountability journalism. I wake up every morning with the same challenge: how to make the most of that luck. So send me tips, lol. I'm on signal at 347-636-8624.

Crisis Chronicles On Journalism: The Beat(s) Go On January 25, 2024 By Brad Chase Amid the last week’s dizzying news of troubles at long-running, beloved legacy media outlets like Sports Illustrated, Pitchfork and Los Angeles [Times], Bloomberg released an interesting report about a new role in newsrooms. Reporter Simone Foxman is taking up a new beat: “exploring how Wall Street and the business world are dealing with social and cultural issues.” It wasn’t long ago that I had to fight CEOs to open their mouth to talk about anything outside of OPEX, ARPU, profit margins, and M&A. Each new business meeting had everyone on the team talking about the need for thought leadership, but when push came to shove, the CEOs refused to say anything on the safest of topics. Like little lemurs, my clients would peek their heads out and hide. The counsel was never to take on the hot-button social issues like abortion, but just on obvious social problems like bad behavior. Most were eventually coaxed out and found that they loved the positive attention they received by contributing to discussions on topics of broad public agreement, even if there was no consensus on the solutions. I’d like to think those CEOs have become better prepared for the post-COVID/post-January 6th business world, where silence is simply no longer an option for companies. The advice will always to be to exercise maximum caution and only speak when knowledgable on a subject, but the volume of issues that require a position are increasing at an exponential rate. The Israel-Hamas war continues to polarize and while there may not be any one “best” solution, the Harvard/Penn disaster in Congress showed that there is definitely a “wrong” solution. In this election year, CEOs and companies will need to talk more openly about their positions. This is a trend I anticipated following the 2016 election and the consulting business I co-founded descended into playground bullying of corporate America. At Chase Global, it’s all about looking forward and embracing these issues as an opportunity to show a leader’s approach and thought process. It is a delicate balancing act of saying enough to demonstrate awareness and compassion without saying too much that can be parsed and torn apart. It’s with a sense of pride that we see Bloomberg dedicating a position to watching this beat. The age of Chief Trust Officers in the C-Suite has begun in earnest. #crisismanagement #crisiscommunications #crisiscomms #chaseglobal #crisischronicles #ChiefTrustOfficer

Lawyer and policy advocate focused on digital privacy, data strategy, and algorithmic fairness | Host of the Data Protection Breakfast Club Podcast
Exposing Meaningless Corporate Buzzwords and Buzzphrases Part 2 Here are five things you can say in any meeting—especially if you're caught off guard or not paying attention. No matter what, everyone will agree with you. 1. "We need to ensure we are striking a proper balance." 2. "We should consider the trade-offs and risks involved." 3. "It's important to gather stakeholder input." 4. "Let's make sure we've dotted every 'i' and crossed every 't'," or its evil twin, "the devil is in the details." 5. "This requires a more in-depth exploration on my end. I'll circle back after discussing with my team [or, for a more serious tone, my manager]."

As a young reporter, I was drawn to social stories, seeking to illuminate the everyday struggles of ordinary people. One assignment, interviewing illegal small-scale miners, proved particularly complex. Environmental devastation, economic desperation, and powerful interests intertwined, creating a narrative fraught with challenges. Limited access to affected communities, the emotional toll of witnessing hardship, and the delicate balance between objectivity and humanizing the story nearly led me to abandon the project. Yet, perseverance yielded invaluable lessons: •Persistence Pays Off: Unwavering dedication is key to uncovering the truth, even in the face of obstacles. •Multiple Perspectives Matter: Listening to diverse voices and critically analyzing information fosters a nuanced understanding of complex issues. •Empathy Fuels Impact: Acknowledging the human cost of a story resonates with audiences and compels them to engage. While I'm currently not a practicing reporter, these lessons continue to impact me positively, both professionally and personally. #contentcreationchallenge #LinkedInwithOD #journalism Odamea Amoako
