TIP: Reporter's contact info is readily available on their stories! It's far more productive to directly reach out to reporters/outlets with concerns you have about our coverage (or lack thereof) than writing blanket statements about how shitty the media is!

This is not at all to say that media outlets don't have problems. But many reporters are committed, particularly in light of recent events, to shifting how we cover issues. But it's dangerous to generalize all forms of information spreading.

Also before you go ahead and think "I'm better than all these reporters so I'm going to make a blog" consider contacting the newspaper and letting them know about gaps in their reporting! You might even be able to freelance and get paid!

This also means, fellow reporters, don't be dismissive, ignore contacts or refuse to change things just because you don't want to or some other lame reason! ok im done, back to your regularly scheduled gay retweets
