Thread: Do you think that when journalists took up jobs in places like Seattle, Louisville, New York, DC ...etc. that they ever thought it would be like reporting from a militarized zone? #pressfreedom

The attack on media and journalism over the last four years has done so much damage to the work of journalists and the role of and independent and free media. So much so that people responsible for the safety of citizens are now comfortable harming them.
There's work to be done on the side of media congolmerates too ie stemming the exhaustive 24 hr breaking news cycle and the sensationalism that's taken over some story telling.
But at the end of the day we rely on journalists to tell stories and give us information that otherwise we would not know, whether reporting on the front lines or breaking stories we didn't even know existed. We need journalists. We need media. And it needs to be free.
