How do the editors at HEIST choose what news and features we publish?
In this episode, founding editors Ruthie Weissmann and Peter Matthews talk to Ben Schuman-Stoler about how they run the editorial side of things at HEIST. They talk about some of their favorite Berlin animal stories, stories that went viral, and what happens on a very slow news day.
We recorded this extra episode also to promote our subscriber campaign which is going into its final weekend. We’ve already hit our first target of 200 paying subscribers and are approaching our main target: 500 paying subscribers to HEIST. If we hit that, we can raise our writers’ rates, launch new content initiatives, and, for the first time, start paying ourselves.
Help us keep HEIST independent and worker-owned by becoming an accomplice!
