“When we dont remember we dont fully understand the world that we’re in today…when we don’t understand why society is structured in the way that it is…our comprehension of history is fundamental…we should always strive to be better informed”Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor #CJDDemocracySummit
What was I reminded at yesterday's Democracy Summit? That “narrative drives policy”. For this reason, it better be the business of all journalists to write and publish stories based on truth and not “performative neutrality”. #CJDDemocracySummit #PressFreedom
