Journalism needs to be a fair and balanced reporting on both sides of an issue, from neutral third parties.

"Journalism" from biased reporters who are cheerleaders for the topic are a danger as well, not only for distortion of truth but also for personal agenda.

I think it's time for social media to make it clear that absorbing "citizen journalism" as fact requires serious critical thinking skills on behalf of the public.

I'm a community note creator on XTwitter and it's an uphill battle trying to fact check misinformation over there. FWIW, I was also a news fact-checker editor at Hearst for years and it's an essential part of reporting and journalism.

It's also essential to speak out against the evil that bubbles up

The best fiction is far more true than any journalism #writinginpublic #writingatbeach 🤙🏻

While writing your book, whatever you do, do not stop to read what you've written. Just keep going, following your outline as a guide. You'll know when to take a break and read, about a third of the way through. Do not let the rough quality of your work stop you from finishing the book. Finish your draft at all cost of time, energy mental bandwidth and creativity. The whole is greater than the sum #amwriting #bookstr Word count coming soon

I really like the recommendation algo YT used to suggest this playlist, and that’s what motivated me to share it. It’s my most hardcore listens (EIP show tunes, guilty), then other random faves THEN some related listen-alike YT-generated picks). Very interesting.
