@darnell My concern re: the dismantling of American journalism by private equity, hedge funds, & oligarchs comes not just from consuming a lot of print and radio news over the decades but having been a tech intern and part-time employee at The Washington Post, and a tech contractor for NPR and PBS. These orgs in particular (and journalism in general) are far less robust now than they were in the late-90s and early aughts—but even more important to an accountable, functioning democracy.
