LET'S LEARN SOMETHING!
At Matter, we get folks from a variety of backgrounds who want to contribute reporting. And while having that variety creates more diversity in perspectives on the team, it can also create gaps in what our reporters know, understand and can do.
To close those gaps, Matter editors have created a list of trainings to equip anyone with the tools necessary to do the kind of reporting work we do.
