Got up at stupid o’clock this morning to catch a train and attend the launch of the Reuters Institute Digital News Report this morning. It was worth it.

Here are my liveblogged notes from the event.

Great Micro Monday @hollyhoneychurch and @macgenie (catching up on a commute). Thanks. Thinking a lot about the time period challenges.

Just preparing my notes from this morning’s Digital News Report 2019 launch event for publication - how refreshing to have an all-female panel at a journalism event:

Five women are seated on a stage, engaged in what appears to be a panel discussion or presentation in front of an audience.

Relax - digital is efficient, so we don’t need to be…

Passing though Croydon. It’s almost 22 years since I worked here. Not far off half my life ago… and I think I’ve only been back twice.

I find upgrading firmware on devices a surprisingly satisfying process.

A smartphone displaying a software update, a small action camera on a grip, a closed laptop, and a reusable green cup are placed on a tray table.

Weather could be better, though.

Nice to be heading up London late enough to drop a bag off at the charity shop and get a coffee from Tom Foolery.

A person is holding a black and green reusable coffee cup while standing on a train platform near the railway tracks.

Of all the things to find, a shopping list from my Mum, who has been gone over a decade:

A handwritten shopping list includes items such as Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, hot chili sauce, goose fat, tiger bread, water, butter, sugar cubes and sugar, bleach, washing up pads, fruit, vegetables, ice cream, cream, custard, and gin and tonic cans.
