It’s been 13 months since I last met a source for coffee in person. That is, until last week when I nervously waited on the LeStat’s patio in Normal Heights for an acquaintance to arrive.
Coffee meetups and networking events were once the lifeblood of my career. If I wasn’t in the newsroom, there was a good chance I was across the street chatting with a source amidst the buzz of downtown.
But you know the drill. Pandemic. Goodbye, hearty handshakes and awkward hugs with acquaintances, and hello Zoom. Now, in a post-vaccine world, I’m curious if professionals who once relied on networking to do their jobs are dipping their toes back into the social business world.
