Over Aperol Spritzes at Fool's Gold, Nisha describes how the newsroom organized itself in order to support these platforms, the shift in their approach after the widespread epidemic of "fake news," and the importance of finding balance in a 24/7 news cycle world - including when it may be right to call it quits altogether.
