BREAKING news from CNN's
@ChrisCarrega
โ
Families of the nine Black South Carolina churchgoers, who were murdered by an admitted white nationalist, have settled their lawsuit against the federal government, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
The march will be on Aug. 28, the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington, and it will be led by the families that "know the pain" and know what it's like to be "neglected," including the families of Floyd and Eric Garner.

It often comes down to those who make decisions in newsrooms, the lens they possess and their willingness to expand beyond what they think they know.
Giving voice = paying attention to others.
๐Who/what/where you cover?
๐Who gets to cover it?
๐ฅHow is it covered?
Neither journalism nor journalists โgive voice to the voiceless.โ
Everyone has a voice.
Itโs the systems in which we live that diminish the voices of the most vulnerable communities.
Journalism is merely a tool that, at the very least, helps lift those voices.

5๏ธโฃ Itโs OK for journalism to evolve, to reflect change as we change. This industry wasnโt โ and isnโt โ going to stay the same. I could resist it, leave news and it will evolve in six months. Change is constant.
4๏ธโฃ News โleadersโ need that same bullet point hate energy and love of craft to diversify coverage, bolster representation & equitable pay in newsrooms. If youโre worried about how facts arrive, worry about the news lens, who is gathering, prioritizing and distributing content.
Be a sponge. Listen and learn the language, ask lots of questions to figure out how things operate and then do what you do. You learn the rules so you can โ๐ฝbreakโ๐ฝthem.

Hard Truths looks at various efforts to address the problems of systemic racism in policing -- particularly after the renewed push for reform in 2020, when a Minnesota police officer killed George Floyd.
The police officer who died after a mob of President Trump's supporters invaded the US Capitol on Wednesday was a New Jersey native who had served in the National Guard.
(cont) I was laid off twice in my career -- once as a reporter and later as an editor -- during the recession. I was about to move onto another career but I returned. When I did, I was more selfish about my career goals -- instead of worrying about the company.
