"Most of us write with a little white man on our shoulder.... we need to have more people on our shoulder & need to think: who am I writing to" @newsbysamuels https://www.pressclubinstitute.org/event/what-would-antiracist-journalism-look-like/

"How do you choose your stories, tell it & ask questions in a way that's thoughtful and doesn't center your biases.... we choose our stories from a position of power." @AskLeezul

"Words either heal or they harm... the idea of neutrality of a word is not real ... we focus on where language comes from and how language is used... talk about the experience of a person rather than the trait of that person" @cassiegoeschirp

"It's hard work." -- basically everybody on the panel talking about the hard and long-term work of anti-racist journalism, improving newsrooms, and holding organizations accountable. Thanks to @julietmbeverly for running a great discussion

"It sucks to be the person who does the work and is never called on for a quote" Look at organizations you're reporting on and find a person who is not a white man. @cassiegoeschirp

"Our job isn't to affirm what we know, our job is to find out what we don't know" @newsbysamuels

"The people who already subscribe to a publication like the way things work ... change is alienating to current audience... It's a real challenge... the people least served by racist journalism are not in position to give awards or be biggest donors" @AskLeezul

But also: "It doesn't make sense to do what we've been doing" considering how the news business is collapsing. "If you're not going to examine the product, you have no business slapping a new business model on it" @cassiegoeschirp

"If there had been a sustained effort to recruit and retain" after the Kerner Commission, newsrooms wouldn't be so white now. @newsbysamuels

"We need to broaden our ideas of who is an authority and who gets to tell their stories" @AskLeezul

"Prioritize taking care of your team" with open discussions about mental health, time off, health care, to make the work sustainable. @cassiegoeschirp
