I’m especially happy about a recent piece channeling the breaking news story about the Panama Papers to addressing global poverty issues. It was published in a prominent newspaper with over 420K subscibers to the paper version and over 5 million online viewers, so hopefully it will get some hits to EA charities. I’m also glad about another piece in this style I published on The Huffington Post, channeling recent attention about a charity scandal towards EA causes. These were both part of the Intentional Insights collaboration with The Life You Can Save, and were published also on the blog of TLYCS and on the InIn blog.
I interviewed Scott Weathers, an EA policy health expert, in the second video of the “Everyday Heroes of Effective Giving” series. These are meant to show the motivations of EA members, whether more dedicated ones or typical movement members, and show them as human beings to whom non-EA participants can relate. The aim is to share such videos widely to help promote EA-themed messages.
I wrote up, together with folks from the Local Effective Altruism Network, the EA Marketing Resource Bank on hackpad. It’s meant to provide resources on marketing to EA participants and effective charity staff. It’s a collaborative project between the Local Effective Altruism Network and Intentional Insights, with assistance from The Life You Can Save. We’re working on the first project for that, which is creating a marketing package for local EA groups that are just starting up, to help them do outreach.
Together with The Life You Can Save and the Local Effective Altruist Network, we at Intentional Insights wrote up the Secular Giving Games. I also went on a secular podcast to host the first Giving Game live on air. A nice piece of news on that front is that the International Humanist Ethical Union is looking to get involved, which will give an official stamp of legitimacy to Giving Games for secular/humanist groups around the world.
As part of the broader work of Intentional Insights to promote rationality—cognitive altruism—my post on Psychology Today climbed into the most popular place on that well-known website.
Finally, after attending the CFAR rationality training workshop, I wrote up a post from an EA perspective on my experience.

That’s what I wanted to share!
Thanks for sharing the post on CFAR workshop! It sounds like a valuable experience. Perhaps I will consider attending someday!
Congrats also on the success of your articles!
Thanks for the good words about my articles, and I hope you do have a chance to go to CFAR someday!
