By Nikita Mandhani Verified| LinkedIn@ My first-ever LinkedIn rant:Just two days ago I posted here about a temporary role I was hiring for. I mentioned specifically how I expected people to apply. But since then, so many people have sent me DMs on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, my personal email and the worst of all - on my WhatsApp. One person even called me out of the blue on a Sunday afternoon. I still don't know how they got my number. It's been really off-putting because it feels like an invasion of my privacy.

Joe: One of the biggest goals of Semafor is to try to build something that doesn't start with the idea that we're going to focus on one country or one market. Instead, our focus is on multiple different markets. We also seek to be transparent in a way that most news organisations are not. It's not baked into the structure and the formats that they use.
