What else does a journalist do besides fight with Nazis? They advocate for their readers. Here's a look at some recent examples.

Hi. If you don’t mind, this will be a short post. Well, it's short for me to construct anyway. It’ll be the usual length for you.

Journalism is an act of advocacy. When people want to exhibit their Big Snowflake Energy, they’ll tell you it’s not. But those people are dumb, and you shouldn’t listen to them. When you let dumb people lead, you get dictatorships.

Journalism is also exhausting. So, while I think about literally anything else for a bit, here’s a look into what I’ve been up to as an advocate.

FYI: I am looking to recruit a Woodbury resident to take over the Woodbury United Facebook group. If that person is YOU, get in touch.
