An update from Esther

It’s Esther here, with some big news - we’re saying goodbye to Kate, our seriously wonderful editor-in-chief.

Over the past year, Kate has brought buckets of experience and a bunch of new ideas, helping to transform The Know into the publication you know and love. But on a personal level, Kate has also brought kindness, wisdom, wit and lots of laughter. We will miss her so much - although this definitely isn’t goodbye forever.

Kate leaves incredibly big boots to fill - something I’m especially aware of, given that I’m stepping up into the position of editor. Having joined The Know as staff writer in October 2022, I’ll never stop being amazed at just how much our unique, jargon-free journalism is needed - and we’re so excited to continue making the media landscape that bit more accessible and hopeful.

With this in mind, I want to know: how are you all feeling about The Know right now? What are we doing well, and what could we improve on? Please tell us here.

We also have a wonderful new multimedia journalist, Effie, joining the team next week, who you’ll be hearing more from very soon. So, lots of change, but it’s all exciting.

Love,

Esther x
