Wonderful advice, Lauren - made me laugh and nod in recognition and agreement. I was a newspaper reporter and put together a similar list. I like to think you'll enjoy it - and these lists should be required reading at J schools, don't you think?

Love this. Particularly the note that politicians always change their story :) Intrigued about the 'don't touch math' advice though!

Love all of these. I only wear shoes I can walk it, and always eat the free snacks. They're FREE!

I hope you sleep tonight!

Loved the fashion tips. It makes a difference. Especially “Wear shoes you can actually walk in. Everyone, not just journalists”.

A great list full of random pearls. ‘Reading is fundamental’ and ‘wear shoes you can walk in’ stood out for me. 😊🙌
