I swear voting in California as a native Texan is so weird to me. I get to vote by mail AND I get a booklet with info on what each thing on my ballot means AND a booklet on how to fill out my ballot?!! I’ve never been more angry at Texas in my life. Wtf.

Newsroom trainings, check ins, therapy dogs and pizza parties are great. But sometimes what journalists need more than anything, especially after covering a catastrophic event, is more money and time off.

The last mass shooting at a Texas school happened four years and six days ago, when 10 students were killed at Santa Fe High School, near Houston. A few weeks later, on a trip to Dallas, Gov. Greg Abbott unveiled a 40-page list of recommendations on how to keep schools safer.

When we talk about “objectivity” in journalism, remember who set the rules in the industry: White men. Fairness is different from objectivity. POC can cover POC issues while being fair. Just like white men can cover other white men.

I'll say it: journalism is kinda an elitist career that puts low-income students at a disadvantage. This is why we have such a diversity problem within our staff members and within our coverage. It's getting better, but it's not anywhere near where it needs to be.

Speaking of internships ... PAID INTERNSHIPS still have a long way to go when it comes to recruitment. Low-income students are screwed with unpaid internships but also with paid ones where they only scout "top-tier" schools. There are brilliant minds at state schools, too.

There's a reason so many Black journalists/JOC prefer remote work. Not dealing with the antics, microaggressions & racism tops the list. So, yes, many find it odd to see folks pining for an era of journalism that was incredibly harmful to so many of us.

Remember: Not everyone is comfortable sharing their trauma at work so those “therapy” and training sessions won’t do those journalists any good. Most of the time it’s those are also JOC who are afraid of retribution later on if they share too many personal details at work.
