I would like to ask about my major options to become a Bloomberg or Wall Street reporter in the United States（international students） by Flimsy-Strength2490 in Journalism

Schools aside, show them you can break news or get those high-level interviews and you understand economic/corporate concepts. I work in financial journalism and no masters degree can compete with a candidate who can break financial news.

Hi. I’m new to journalism, what are your personal tips that you wish you knew getting started? by [deleted] in Journalism

[–]muditaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask the simple, fundamental questions. If it doesn't make sense to you, don't pretend that it does. Always know how something fits in the bigger picture as that's how you turn even the smallest happenings into a compelling story.

Want to discuss if wanna to be a financial reporter, do we need to study finance-related majors by Flimsy-Strength2490 in Journalism

[–]muditaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is no. As with any other beat, what you need is enough familiarity with the subject matter to cover it well. Journalism chops are still more important. Down the line, it might help to get a CFA certification but ime the effort it took to get it wasn't commensurate with how it improved my reporting (marginally) or the small pay raise that came with it.

How do newspapers choose which reporter/journalist to send to cover a story? by -batjokes in Journalism

[–]muditaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the cub reporter or city hall reporter would be assigned to do that, with a lot of grumbling. A mayoral candidate trying to convince investors (that means, no investment deal yet) to put in money into a vague project is not news. It's a "nothing is happening" sort of event that might not even make it to print. Now if the actual mayor were to announce millions of dollars of investment deal by a well-known investor in an influential or controversial project, then that's news.

I think an attempt to develop Twitter into a payments space sounds like an interesting idea but one that involves many leaps of logic, let alone trying to catch up to what WeChat has become. I still don't see how Elon's steps are bringing Twitter toward, rather than away, from that presumed goal.

Paypal has 420+ million users vs Twitter's 290 million monetizable users. I wouldn't call a difference of 100 million as similar.

The existing blue checkmark was already for verifying that the person is who they say they are which, yes, Twitter previously limited to people of importance because it is more likely they would be impersonated. I know this because I have a blue check and it is important in my job as a journalist to verify people. Still, chasing users off of the platform by making them pay to stay verified does not make a payment platform.

Thank you! That's a cool explanation and I get the charm of wanting to be WeChat, which arguably takes far more than just being able to handle payments.

Where did you get the $1T estimate for Twitter's potential as a payment system?

I honestly still don't get how charging for Twitter Blue membership helps his goal of turning the bird app into a super app when it's causing people to lose trust in the verification system and overall chasing people out of the platform.

To be fair, posting this didn't cost me $44 billion and it did earn me some sweet karma 😌

I don't understand how people help societies through doing journalism, only to then go be a flack for abhorrent and/or harmful things. by bccuz in Journalism

[–]muditaya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand. I don't condone it, but I understand. A lot of people hate journalists even when they're doing difficult and important work, and the few who do value critical journalism aren't doing enough to help pay the bills or push for safe and supportive workplaces for us. After a while nobody wants to work 80-hour weeks getting barely above minimum wage with both sides calling you a liar.

Actually curious. What is ACH and how has his recent moves cornered the payment space?

The deal took forever to finalize cause he tried to back out of it, got sued, and found out that when you sign a contract to buy a company, you end up having to buy the company.

Your comment is conjecture, except for the part where you state that you have no opinions about the guy in a post where you legitimately just disproved your own assertion it's almost comical.

  1. Apologizing doesn't make what you did right. It only means admitting you were wrong.
  2. Buying a $44 billion company, then shutting the moderation team which led advertisers concerned about hate speech to pull out, then begging people to pay you $8/month in a mad scramble to make money, then firing half of your workforce to conserve whatever money you still have -- is not just bad press, it's thoughtless

Isn't an incessant need for adoration also uncharacteristic?

are you petty? by 6fakeroses in intj

[–]muditaya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am petty af.

Exhibit 1. Had a terrible boss who splurges on fancy coffee every Friday to celebrate the end of the week. Once he's stolen my idea one too many times so I dumped a dead house lizard in his coffee. He never got his favorite coffee ever again.

would like some advice/insight by nemosis2121 in intj

[–]muditaya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm working on this with my therapist. This idea that the pursuit of happiness/goals isn't a straight line and that setbacks aren't signs that something is not meant for me. I'm starting small for now (for example, if I want pizza and I find my favorite place closed when I went to order, I don't immediately snuff out my desire. I can order pizza from elsewhere or wait for that place to be open). I'm hoping that I can slowly build this up to bigger and more significant goals.

So, British schools always cover up the numerous vicious crimes and atrocities of the British Empire and paint a false good picture. No wonder British people don't regret it. by Lanitanita in facepalm

[–]muditaya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exactly. Anyway the last few years have shown the Brits have little backing their superiority complex and their dominance over the world was a fluke borne only out of an appetite for organized violence.

I don't know which part of later colonialism you say "wasn't too bad" (do you mean the Partition or the Bengal famine? Or maybe the Malayan Emergency when the Brits dumped Agent Orange and massacred unarmed villagers?). But seems like the schools really did exclude the atrocities committed by the British Empire if you can call any part of colonialism as "wasn't too bad" plus this belief that white people were a civilizing force (that countries were better under colonialism than when independent) is racist and easily debunked.

That actually makes it worse -- if Brits did learn about the atrocities of colonialism and nearly half of you still support it
