@phwolfe @odd Thanks for doing that work, fam. I know how thankless it is.
It’s funny (not funny ha ha, but funny cry emoji) that the “nobody wants to pay for news but also they all demand it be accessible on Facebook” thing was called out in Elements of Journalism way back in 2014! Way, way before I got into the profession. The layoffs were also a problem then. And it’s only gotten worse.
I dunno how to fix this. But I’m damn sure becoming Instagram won’t do it.

@Haste @odd I'm putting my time in with our local community radio station and a nonprofit journalism collaborative that seems to be getting momentum. And a little bit of my money goes every month to ProPublica.
