Accurate, experienced journalism is important for keeping people informed and to keep the principles of democracy flourishing. When new organizations make cuts, that places all of that in peril. We depend on a free press to keep power in check.

Doris Kearns Goodwin said “Journalism still, in a democracy, is the essential force to get the public educated and mobilized to take action on behalf of our ancient ideals”. We need to remember these high ideals as times get tough and things change.

A certain ideology has taken root, and it isn’t good in many news operations around the country.

With all this said, I will miss the CBS Saturday Morning show with Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller, the show was cancelled, and they lost their jobs. CBS just laid off a lot of people today. They are not changing for the better.
