As a mass comm major, IF THERE IS SOMETHING UNJUST OR IMMORAL BEING DONE CALL YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION THEY WILL HELP MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE
Cities and government agencies HATE bad press. This story that was told to me by the journalist that covered this, and he showed us the piece:
There was a traffic light that was set up on the far side of an overpass, but it was improperly hung so you couldnāt see the light until it was too late. There were accidents there EVERY SINGLE DAY and calls to the city did NOTHING.
Someone had the idea to call the local news station and this dude went out to see. As he was interviewing someone, there was a wreck.
Guess what happened after that piece aired?
Suddenly the city had the time to lower the traffic light and the accidents stopped.
Journalists get a bad rep, and while big stations like Fox deserve it, I think more thought should be given to who youāre actually shitting on when you say āI hate journalists.ā Because weāre overworked, underpaid, constantly shit on, but we still do the job because we want to help people. All professional, prestigious journalists that Iāve met hate the government and will do whatever they can to get the information and change thatās needed. Being a journalist is a dangerous profession: at every professional convention Iāve been at thereās a fund for the families of journalists that have been killed (thereās a lot!) and a long memoriam roll.
