The Media & Democracy ProjectWith so many recent layoffs at news orgs -- CNN, Gannett, Washington Post, etc.-- it begs the question: At what point do we stop allowing market imperatives to crush journalism? When will we treat news media as a public service, not a widget that rises & falls with profitability? https://twitter.com/VWPickard/status/1598075273966407680

“In my first piece for the @theprogressive I argue that the ever-worsening journalism crisis requires systemic alternatives that guarantee news and information for *all* members of society, not just the privileged few who live in affluent neighborhoods. https://t.co/FdbAiLPqjf”

Joy-Ann ReidI feel like part of what we’re experiencing in this country, and really in a lot of countries, is the collapse of identity, which in the U.S. used to be rooted in a white, Christian-centered worldview that only had to account for other people when it came to sports and entertainment. The majority now has to cope with the reality of growing political and social equality, and the attendant demands to expand the notion of national history and identity. Some folks are taking it hard.
