    The robots will make us more human
    “There will be silver linings to The Great Robot Spam Flood of 2024.” Andrew Golis
    We’ll step up our defense of journalists in exile
    “One of the biggest growth areas for journalism in the coming year is one that none of us would wish for — the journalism of the displaced.” Lynette Clemetson
    Too many news orgs adopt right-wing frames about trans people
    “Reporters and editors have unconscious biases. In the case of trans people, that often manifests in worrying more about people who may mistakenly identify as trans — and regret that decision — than about the challenges that trans people face.” Gina Chua
    Rise of the news DJs
    “For an increasing subset of readers, ‘articles’ will be as invisible as CSS code.” Bassey Etim
    The cable news kayfabe is dead
    “It’s time to get real with people. They don’t want to hear the debate between two rival sects of increasingly unaccountable rich people, especially when neither of them is living a life that has anything to do with their daily lived experiences.” Ben Collins
    The future-of-journalism crowd stops ignoring local TV news
    “The reality is that people of color in the U.S. are more likely to turn to TV news for local information than they are newspapers or digital-first local news.” Nikki Usher
    Investigative reporting will experiment with new forms
    “We must accept that the beautifully written 10,000-word piece will only reach certain kinds of audiences — those most willing to sit at a desktop and take the time necessary to read it.” Sumi Aggarwal
    Experts — not influencers — will cover more Black news
    “Misinformation is the new norm, Black culture is the American mainstream, and we, like any other community, are owed a chance of knowing the truth.” Dominic-Madori Davis
    The rise of civic dialogue in news
    “Civic dialogue in news promotes the next level of public service journalism.” Sarah Glover
    Journalists will look for answers outside the news industry
    “Attend that academic conference, that legal convention, or that public health convening where you don’t know anyone.” Leezel Tanglao

    What should journalists do when the facts don’t matter?

    I’m a journalist and I’m changing the way I read news. This is how.
