Today marks the 19th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In 2001, the front page of the newspaper remained one of the boldest statements in news.
In 2020, the coverage of major news events like the coronavirus is fragmented across social media feeds. There is no one place to make a bold statement, but front pages remain powerful snapshots of our most important moments.
Here’s a glimpse of September 11 remembrance front pages throughout the years.

Safety for journalists has taken on a renewed sense of importance as newsrooms grapple with the convergence of hostility toward those in the field and systemic racism that pervades even the most revered journalistic institutions. It seems journalists have more reason than ever to be allies for each other as the industry confronts itself while serving conflicted communities.
This program will be moderated by Jill Geisler, who will join Alex Marquardt, Sarah Matthews, Abby Phillip, and Michael Santiago to discuss “Journalists in peril: Creating a safer, equitable future together,” drawing on their experiences at CNN, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and their knowledge of journalism, allyship and equity.
Registration is open for this program, which will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020.

To be a manager is to be entrusted with power. How you use it can define both your success and your happiness. That’s the clear message in the responses I received when I put a call out on social media, asking managers to tell me what brought them satisfaction in their work. We’ve shared them throughout this week.
Here are more of their insights:

“The best part of leadership is opening doors for people. To see that spark when they accomplish a goal or learn a new skill, fills me with so much satisfaction. I often think of myself as a sweeper during a curling match. My goal is to smooth the way, nudge a little here and there, so the player hits their target. It’s about them winning, not you.”

“The most fulfilling thing about being a manager is seeing people fulfill their vision and knowing you helped support them in doing it. That and bourbon.”

“I comment as a retired News Director, Executive Producer and Communications Officer. To this day, it is always gratifying to hear from folks who worked with me. Some still seek me out for advice, others reach out thanking me for the opportunities and yes fun, they had working together. Just yesterday a former anchor thanked me for a compliment I gave him. That it meant so much because it came from me. Success for me has come so much after the fact, that what I did matters to this day.”

Sniffing out a great story is part of the job. Handling the stress that comes with it, though? Well, follow your nose.
Research shows that smell influences 75 percent of our daily emotions, and that mood can improve dramatically after smelling something pleasant. So why do we feel better after we smell cookies baking or freshly cut grass? It’s all about memory. When we tie pleasant smells to positive experiences, our brains perk up when those scents waft our way.
To perk up your WFH experience, you could invest in a diffuser and aromatherapy kit, light your favorite scented candle, or simply visit your kitchen.
Here are some scents with superpowers:
