I believe in seeking verifiable truth on behalf of the public, listening openly, telling it like it is while minimizing harm, and being accountable for my actions. In other words. I'm a professional journalist.
A White House proposal would claw back already approved public media funding. Join me in the fight to save it. Contact Congress now. bit.ly/4izrxUn #ProtectMyPublicMedia

Not sure how I missed this roll out, but I'm excited for it. If it works (and I think it will), watch it spread. Philanthropy will still be needed, though: www.poynter.org/business-wor...
