Thank you for reading this issue of the NABJ Roundup. As you know, COVID-19
developments have shifted all of our lives in one way or another. The month of March
especially took many of us by surprise. So, we are grateful that our newsletter
contributors have been able to make time in their schedules to assist us with getting an
issue out to you this month. This month’s issue includes a visual revisit of our last event
together, the NABJ Millennial Media Summit, reflections from our own members via
Twitter about adapting to our new normal, and sound advice from our panel of experts
to help you navigate the industry during this time. There are also some special
announcements from our partners at Google and Facebook.
