Good news, hacks and hackers! There has been a burst of new journalism jobs in the last few weeks, and we have you covered.

Check out the Job Postings section of this newsletter, where we share new positions every week.

The week ahead:

• Dar es Salaam is talking about the importance of mobile journalism
• Kampala is learning how to clean data with OpenRefine
• Nigeria is exploring how technology affects workflow

Worth a read:

• Archiving tweets, photos and videos posted during a breaking news scenario can get overwhelming. GIJN talked to Bellingcat journalists to find out what open source tools they used to document social media posts from the U.S. Capitol riot.
• There are lots of ethical battles raging around the use of facial recognition software, so using AI to identify guns and other objects instead is becoming a trend that might prove useful in events like riots and shootings.
• We’ve been covering the pandemic for almost a year now and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon, so remember to take care of yourself — whether it’s getting involved in communities that help you feel supported or adding happy accounts to your social media feed.
