Access journalism is killing "indie" journalism.

The issue is that the journalist economy is centered around "influencers" not the stories that impact millions. Im working my ass off every day to change that. This is proof of concept. We need people to get off their couches and Instagram and get back into the field.

Influencers rise based on how shitty of a person they are willing to be. I.E using this kind of thing for clicks

whether it's for anything from soda to war

Check out real indie journalism.
