Focus on your core competency and what you are uniquely poised to contribute to the information and content ecosystem. Journalism is a professional practice because there are shared standards and best practices.
As a part of our series about “the 5 steps we can take to win back trust in journalism” I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Megan H. Chan.
Megan H. Chan is the News Ecosystem Lead at Google where she focuses on building tools for journalists and publishers, local news, and evolving news business models. She previously spent over a decade in journalism. As the Director of Digital Operations at The Washington Post, she was responsible for elevating digital performance across the newsroom and partnering with engineering and business teams. Prior to that role, she was the director of digital products at Politico where she focused on digital development, like the launch of Politico Magazine, and oversaw the social media and election results teams. Before that, she was the online Washington editor at USA TODAY where she oversaw election results, social media, and coordinated and wrote the first draft of the Osama bin Laden raid.
