Journalists Unmask The Magic Behind Meaningful Journalism

Behind the Blog: Unraveling the Mystique of Magic Links and Shelves that Bring Ideas to Life

We Don’t Want Your Password sparked a lively conversation among four journalists about their quest for meaningful journalism. What began as a candid discussion has shed light on the magic links that power our website, and how building shelves – or in this case, a functional RSS feed system – is an essential part of our mission to serve the independent media ecosystem.

As we reflected on our response to We Don’t Want Your Password, it became clear that our goal is twofold: to create engaging content that resonates with readers and to build projects that support our journalistic endeavors. Our current magic link setup serves its purpose and aligns with the CMS we use, resulting in a seamless user experience for our subscribers and a focus on delivering quality journalism without distractions.

One of our key projects, a full-text RSS feed for paying subscribers and the broader independent media ecosystem, is poised to revolutionize the way readers access our content. By building this system from scratch, we’re not only enhancing our website but also contributing to a more inclusive and equitable media landscape.

Our approach is rooted in simplicity, efficiency, and a commitment to our core values. As we strive to create engaging content that resonates with readers, we’re also building systems that support our mission. By doing so, we aim to leave a lasting impact on the media landscape – one shelf at a time.
