You are so inspiring in so many ways, I would love to see:
Shorter reflections (sometimes I don’t have time to read all of your amazing content so shorter reflections, in bite size pieces, are really helpful when I’m goin 100mph)
Video versions of stories would be so interesting!
What topics would you like me to cover more often? Inspirational stories or maybe stories about your past adventures (you have so many crazy tales of life on the road)
Do you lean toward straight journalism or pieces with personal reflection woven in? Both!
Would you be interested in behind-the-scenes glimpses into the reporting process? Yes!
Firstly, thank you so much for your inspiring work, Hollie.
- Do you prefer longer-form, deeply reported pieces or shorter reflections?: Both. I prefer long-form for something I'd love to know in-depth but once (longstanding conflict, history, internal politics, etc) and shorter for personal touch (yours or interviewee's; as too much emotion for a long-form).
- Would you like to see more audio or video versions of stories?: No. I procrastinate (and eventually do not) listening to audio/video. Also not a good fit for stories, as I listen 2x, which removes the emotions conveyed through voice.
- What topics would you like me to cover more often?: As above, in-depth long-form of conflicts, historic complications, those that is difficult to access info besides short, sudden bursts of event-driven news OR short-form strong emotions felt through stories.
- Do you lean toward straight journalism or pieces with personal reflection woven in?: I like the latter. With AI, I can only see personal reflection pieces to stay around.
- Would you be interested in behind-the-scenes glimpses into the reporting process?: That would be interesting. At min once.
- How often would you like to receive new posts—weekly, monthly, or as stories are ready? Weekly to bi-weekly feels best, but the frequency is not what makes or breaks.

Video stories would be great but I would love audio for most stories so I could listen to it like a podcast while in the car.
Great job! You're the one news source of mine with a human face.
