“Working as a journalist or in media is focused on storytelling or which stories to prioritize, whose perspectives to hear, and how to make sure different perspectives are accounted for when discussing or writing about a topic or an issue, policy, or event. It’s about not leaning towards one type of person or viewpoint.”
