Hey journalists- it& #39;s that time when my students are hearing about jobs & internships. I& #39;d love share failure stories with them! To students it can seem like working reporters have never faced a failure: been rejected for a job, internship, etc! What& #39;s your #fail?

I& #39;ve never aired a story on @ThisAmerLife #journalismfail!

I once left @Radiolab& #39;s shotgun mic in a taxi!

I’ve had about three gazillion pitches rejected!

Ooh, I totally forgot about the time when I was producing @Slate& #39;s Culturegabfest and I somehow left in like 45 seconds of dead air. And then we got angry emails from listeners!! I offered to quit. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😪" title="Sleepy face" aria-label="Emoji: Sleepy face"> The EP @andybowers was so nice about it and said everyone needs to learn!
