Are you tired of clickbait and the current state of journalism? This community is meant to remind you that excellent journalism still happens. While not sticking to a specific topic, the focus will be on high-quality articles and discussion around their topics.
Politics is allowed, but should not be the main focus of the community.
Submissions should be articles of medium length or longer. As in, it should take you 5 minutes or more to read it. Article series’ would also qualify.
Please either submit an archive link, or include it in your summary.
Rules:
- Common Sense. Civility, etc.
- Server rules.

Everyone read this. It's an incredibly well written article. Journalism like this is so rare.
Jesus fucking christ. This has hit me like a ton of bricks. And this is all so recent. What a stupid bubble I've grown up in. Glad to be edified, but mortified at humans, as well as totally inspired by them. Izidor and all of the other suffering people out there put me to shame. What a dumb thing to complain about work today.
Wishing that peace finds all those who have suffered at the hands of monstrous humans.
Trauma is trauma. This isn't the Olympics, and we do not judge and compare trauma.
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO FEEL SAD or pissed or frustrated or hungry or lonely or happy. The existence of people more happy or lonely or hungry or sad than you does not rob you of your right to feel.
Don't minimize your own experiences. They're the only ones you get.
I hope tomorrow goes better. No more free slurpees tomorrow, but it is Friday.
Ha, jokes on you, that's what TV and books are for! (Mostly kidding, but not completely)
