How is social media changing news?
Social media has changed news by speeding up the cycle and letting stories break directly from the public. That creates opportunities for unfiltered access, but also risks with misinformation and lack of context. For journalists and community leaders, the challenge now is cutting through the noise, providing clarity, and building trust in a fast-moving environment.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
“Being a journalist means carrying the responsibility of truth on behalf of the public. When I was on air at WTAM 1100, my job wasn’t just to read headlines it was to ask the questions that politicians sometimes avoided, to dig into the details, and to make sure everyday people understood how decisions at the top affected them at home. To me, journalism is about more than reporting events; it’s about providing context, building trust, and giving the public the clarity they need to make informed choices. Even in my work today in politics and grassroots organizing, that same principle guides me the commitment to transparency, accountability, and telling the full story.
