I have not been a working journalist in a very long time. And even then I was bad at it. But I do still consider myself a journalist and what I’m seeing from the trade right now is deeply disturbing.
I don’t want journalists to do anything different, but I might suggest that when allocating resources you might pause to reflect on the grave national crisis we find ourselves in. Maybe not write story after story based on Republican talking points? Maybe stop being so wrapped up in access that you aid and abet the agenda of people whose long-term agenda is to put you in jail as a “enemy of the people?”
I don’t want you to stop being objective. I do, however, want you to think a little bit about how you might make the current situation better, not worse.
