As a journalist, I’ve been told repeatedly I have to keep any personal opinions I had off social media.
And I did.
But I had to check myself because as a white person, I’ve had the PRIVILEGE of staying “unbiased” and “neutral” on social media in a white dominated industry.

If you’re a journalist regularly covering courts and cops, I hope this opens your eyes to not write blindly from a police scanner or take what cops say as fact.
Don’t be a mouthpiece for an institution you should be holding accountable through your reporting.

Journalists don't work for free, nor should we, but there HAS to be a better business model than subscription reliance. Not only for the below reason, but because it also leaves out some community members we claim to serve who cannot spare $10 per month for access to information
