We made big progress this week

Jul 27, 2022

Good Morning Sense-ibles,

We made a major breakthrough this week; we confirmed our new operations executive who will be tasked with shaping our operations and delivering a range of programs and projects we are running at Common Sense! More on that in a week or so.

We will also announce them to the community in a few weeks and so keep your eyes on the newsletters for that!

We want your feedback

We are really hungry for your feedback, so please let us know what you think about our videos or articles that you read! Last week we published around 14 articles and so there is so much for you to dig into. We also published a few youtube videos so again take a look at them and drop a comment. Let us know what you think.

Why are there so few black journalists in the UK?

This week’s episode of Common Sense Podcast is very important. The number of Black Journalists in the UK.

Only 0.2% of journalists in the UK are black. That’s not just a shame, it's a disaster. In this episode, M.T. is joined by trailblazer and journalist Afua Acheampong-Hagan as they discuss why there are so few black journalists in the UK
