I was really thrilled to write this freelance piece for @NewAmerica. Accountability for how #PublicInterestTech tools serve people and who they ultimately serve is key to ensuring accessibility and equity, especially for the most vulnerable groups.

📱 During the pandemic, #PublicInterestTech tools, like COVID exposure apps, were created. Were they worth the effort?
Dana Amihere (@write_this_way) weighs in on these tools, with a focus on California's robust portfolio of software.

@lovely_giuliana, my partner on @laist project #Racism101, produced a wonderful piece for @kcrw. Amid all the reporting on how employers and the economy are struggling bc people won't return to jobs, it's refreshing to hear the other side.

People wanting more than subsistence, living paycheck to paycheck, doesn't make them lazy or mooches off government assistance. It means we need to change the system: living wages, affordable child care and not judging those who seize opportunities to better themselves.

Sharing her personal experience with unemployment is a great example of how we can move the needle toward more engaged journalism and how we make genuine connections with audiences by being real, vulnerable and human as journalists.

Producing #Racism101 with @lovely_giuliana was one of the best experiences I've ever had as an editor. I felt like we really made an impact and started some really important convos. Visit laist.com/racism101 to see the project. And, read about how it all unfolded:
Active participation in the racial reckoning may be waning, but convos around race are more intentional and more common. #Racism101 may be over, but it helped make talks around race more deliberate and thoughtful, says editor @write_this_way.
