201 /

I’m angry about what’s happening in journalism. I’m angry about greedy billionaires trying to satisfy special interests and bottom lines. I’m angry that the Fourth Estate — once a system of checks and balances that held people in power to account and served as a guardrail for democracy — has eroded to a place that oligarchs and dictators like, a place where no one is watching. Especially now.

And I’m sad for all of the great journalists who lost their jobs this week.

Next week, I’ll be back with 5 things I was looking at and loving. This week, all I have is rage and hugs for those affected by this.

Stay strong. We need journalists now more than ever.
