What we're reading this week.

  Adam: Perhaps more than ever, this is a great time to support independent nonprofit watchdog journalism, particularly at the local and state level. If you’re in a position to donate, here’s a handy list of organizations to help you get started.

  Ben: Did you know that we here at the INN Nerds Distributed Office™ hold weekly office hours that anyone can join? Join us Fridays from 2-3 p.m. Eastern on your computer screen or telephonic communicator as we answer your questions and talk about random things.

  Gabe: Icons are prevalent in UI/UX design, but they are deceptively simple. What makes a good icon?

  Julia: Martin Shelton is a security researcher and OpenNews fellow – read his thoughts about security compromises in journalism and his recommendations for securing your digital life like a normal person.

  RC:  CUNY Journalism professor Jeff Jarvis sends out A Call for Cooperation Against Fake News.

  Inndy: Don't be fooled by fake bots.
