Editor's Notes

Hey, quick reminder that we're not publishing newsletters on Fridays in August to give our newsroom a bit of a break. We'll catch you again on Monday! Hope you're getting some time off, too.

 

P.S. Check out the latest episode of Technical.ly On the Record below; I chatted with Alex Galiani, our Baltimore-based bizdev manager, about two powerful essays he wrote for us this summer about the necessity of continuing the fight against systemic racism. Give them a read, then give our conversation a listen, if you're feeling stuck on where to go from here.
