Why FWIW?

FWIW (For What It's Worth) best describes what this newsletter/publication is about. Here is an explanation from the Cambridge dictionary: used, for example in emails, when you are giving someone information and you do not know if it is useful or not. And I hope it will be useful to you.

I didn't know that there are newsrooms that don't show their journalists the performance data like pageviews or the number of subscriptions. 😯 Another interesting FWIW by @davidtvrdon fwiw.substack.com/p/the-big-tech…

Some history trivia

In Slovakia, I co-host a popular technology podcast (Klik). Each week, I and my co-host look for the biggest tech stories and unpack them for our audience. To do that, we read all the technology news and make notes. As I am interested in media, journalism, and audio (especially podcasting), I follow those topics quite closely. At one point I thought to myself, what if I turn these notes in a blog and maybe start sending it as a newsletter. That’s how this newsletter started and I still look at it as my notes published online. It also serves me as a diary of what happened and countless times saved me from googling for hours.
