— What’s your why? Share it with your audience to sustain your future. –

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why
do we do it? Why do we work in a highly unstable career with no job security?
Why do we cover stories so unimaginably terrible that sometimes all that’s left
for us to do at the end of the day is cry? Why do we endure a high-pressure,
fast-paced environment with little pay while at the same time dealing with a
constant barrage of criticism from those we are trying to serve? (You’ve
unfortunately probably heard some of this before: you’re a liberal rag; you’re
in Politician X’s pocket; have you EVER even HEARD of a copy editor?) We do it
because we care. We do it because our passion for our communities runs deep in
our veins. We do it because we feel a responsibility to tell our neighbors’
stories, keep our cities safe and hold our governments accountable. We do it
because we can’t imagine doing anything else. Historically, we haven’t been
very good at telling the story of our why. But it’s one that is key to
sustaining local journalism for years to come. As the news industry continues to
face more layoffs, I’ve heard my colleagues ask, “So what can we do? How can we
help ensure the future of our news organization?”)
