After a question about how journalists combat feelings of helplessness that can come with work on difficult subjects, @SilviaElenaFF said that it is “fulfilling” to be able to “contribute in your own meaningful way.” “You’re educating the public about what’s happening; you’re unveiling something that’s never been known before; you’re holding somebody powerful to account for the harms that they’re creating." thedartmouth.com/article/2026/0…
