More journalists of color ... are turning to freelancing not as a glamorous act of independence, but because “newsroom jobs either are nonexistent or so competitive that they feel it’s useless to apply.” objectivejournalism.org/2026…

Journalists of color face an industry that doesn't love them back

Increased safety risks and an inability to culturally and financially value their labor are pushing journalists of color out of the field.

Thank you @KALW Let’s Make Public Service Journalism a Full-Circle Act kalw.org/kalw-speaks/2026-01…

Let’s Make Public Service Journalism a Full-Circle Act

There are always decisions to make when in a leadership role, and not all of them are obvious. For me, one of these decisions involved my joining the KALW Board last Fall. It was a full-circle moment.

Paramount publicity spelled my last name wrong in a press release for my episode and now it's wrong everywhere. My last name is not that hard. No ethnic name is that hard to spell. Please please please triple check you have the name right before publishing.
