Boomers, Gen X-ers + Millennials get flustered by terms like "content creators." @Sr_Noticias of @abcactionnews + @NAHJTAMPABAY said that means "storytellers." How people are getting news has changed significantly, and we have to adapt to the platforms people are using. @NAHJ

Profiles in Courage: FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez outlined what she called the weaponization of government to control free speech. "Watching what's happening is exhausting, but we must push back against the bullet." #nahj25

John Palfrey of the @macfound is deeply concerned about threats to journalists and the media. "I would not have imagined this happening in our lifetimes." But..."The work we’re doing on diversity is not illegal and we will keep doing it." #nahj25

Daniel Ash of the @FieldFoundation takes inspiration from supporting local grantees who are directly responding to America's constitutional crisis. He believes support of hyperlocal journalism is a way to nurture civic engagement. #nahj25
