How can we improve this
together?
#rjicollab

COLLABORATION
is also really difﬁcult
#rjicollab

we needed to
practice what we preach
#rjicollab

Ask for forgiveness,
not for permission.
#rjicollab

• Co-working: Look for
underutilized or
unused spaces; invite
everyone to join.
#rjicollab
• By creating a
collaboration space,
we illustrated a
greater need.
• Permission to fail and
experiment is key.

Use technology.
(but don’t forget about face time)
#rjicollab

We all agree Slack is awesome, right?
It’s even better when you pair it with real-life interaction.
#rjicollab

#rjicollab
You can’t make true
collaboration (or fun)
mandatory. Have faith
it will grow over time.

Remember:
There’s no ‘I’ in team.
#rjicollab

#rjicollab
USE ‘WE’
when celebrating
accomplishments
USE ‘I’
when taking
responsibility

A reading club can be a great bonding activity
and an integral part of the onboarding process.
#rjicollab

#rjicollab
COLLABORATION
can always
improve
• Create opportunities
to revisit whether
things are working.
• Host ofﬁce-wide
‘Honest Hours’.
• Look for ideas from
introverts, too!

thank you
say hello!

Mobile apps and push notifications are often touted as the golden ticket to engage news consumers with timely and relevant content. For cash-strapped small and medium-sized news organizations a custom-built mobile app is a pipe dream, at best. In response to this problem, RJI Residential Fellow Christopher Guess presented about his ongoing project “Push” on Thursday, Aug. 31, at noon in Fred W. Smith Forum. Push is an open-source, natively built, mobile news app for iOS and Android that any publication can take for free and easily customize for their own organization. With this tool push notifications, detailed analytics, offline-caching and many other features are available to local newsrooms in ways that only the big names could play with before.

Мировая политика как черное и белое: Иран и Израиль, или как люди становятся жертвами намеренно проецируемых на них заблуждений Содержание Введение I. Каждый сектантский подход и каждая сектантская мысль являются порочной ошибкой и нетерпимым поступком II. Политическая ситуация и международные отношения не определяют природу режимов, правительств и государств III. Когда дело касается мировых дел, не существует шахматной доски с «черными» и «белыми» клетками IV. Все СМИ сообщают одну и ту же ложь, меняя только «шахматные наборы» V. Достоинство иранцев и палестинцев является наиболее спорным вопросом VI. Вера в обещания, данные врагами, замаскированными под друзей, может оказаться смертельной VII. Военные и фермеры против королевской семьи и аятолл VIII. Нет никакой разницы между Ираном и Египтом, когда дело доходит до раболепия по отношению к крупным колониальным схемам Contents Introduction I. Every sectarian approach and every sectarian thought are a vicious mistake and an intolerable act. II. Political situations and international relations do not define the nature of regimes, governments, and states. III. When it comes to world affairs, there is no such thing as a chessboard with "black" and "white" squares. IV. All mass media report the same lies, changing only the «chess sets». V. The dignity of the Iranians and the Palestinians is a most controversial subject. VI. Believing promises given by enemies disguised as friends may be lethal. VII. Military and farmers against the royals and the ayatollahs VIII. There is no difference between Iran and Egypt when it comes to servility toward major colonial schemes.
