    Did you really just claim that journalists can not change the world by talking about issues?

      Do you really think they can? Are you certain that in 5, 10 or at least 15 years things will change for the better? I hope so. But think about climate change. Years of reporting, warning, shouting from the rooftops. Nothing. Nothing changed because we cannot do anything when people in power don’t see the need to change.

        Yes, we have hundreds of years of examples of journalists changing the world by talking about things. It’s kind of what they do. It’s so wild to see someone make this claim really.
