Come have a drink with Nieman Lab!

Happy hour Wednesday at The Field, in Cambridge’s Central Square.

Where did the summer go? The start of the academic year has snuck up on us, somehow, and sweaters can’t be too far behind. There’s only one way to deal with it, eastern Massachusetts residents: Come have a drink with us Nieman Labbers.

We’re having our third-ever Lab happy hour Wednesday (that’s August 17) for our Boston-area readers and friends. We’ll be at The Field. That’s just a few steps away from the Central Square stop on the Red Line, so anyone near a T station should be able to get there without too much trouble. Here’s a map.

As always, nothing too formal — just a chance for people of a future-of-news-ish mindset to meet and have a few beverages. We’ll show up around 6 p.m. and stick around until at least 8, maybe later.

Joshua Benton is the senior writer and former director of Nieman Lab. You can reach him via email (joshua_benton@harvard.edu) or Twitter DM (@jbenton).

“We will all have to adjust to a new workflow. If it is a bottleneck, it will be a failure.”
“Impossible to approach the reporting the way I normally would”: How Rachel Aviv wrote that New Yorker story on Lucy Letby
“So much of the media coverage — and the trial itself — started at the point at which we’ve determined that [Lucy] Letby is an evil murderer; all her texts, notes, and movements are then viewed through that lens.”
Increasingly stress-inducing subject lines helped The Intercept surpass its fundraising goal
“We feel like we really owe it to our readers to be honest about the stakes and to let them know that we truly cannot do this work without them.”
