In today's world or better yet with 2020, the world was shook to it's core with the pandemic, police brutality, and the election. However, the journalist and news outlets was a way that provided this information to us. As journalism continues in 2021, Jennifer Chao has this to say in her blog What have you done for you lately "The newsrooms that thrive will be those that leverage the moment to make the case for journalism that helps save lives and sticks up for democracy." What I like about this quote is she's asking new sources to look within themselves and ask themselves are they truly doing what they are suppose to do.
She then list different questions that if answered truthfully, would really show the effort of whatever journalist or news source is doing. For example ,she asked "How have your journalists contributed to repairing the rhetorical toxicity that’s been normalized over the past four years?" These are tough but needed questions. Overall a great read and insightful into journalism.
