Donesha’s vision for the future of digital journalism
My vision for the future of digital journalism is for our industry find innovative ways to meet online audiences where they are. We will have to do that by embracing changes that will inevitably happen over time. Our communities need us to hold the powerful accountable, get them results when they need it and to keep them informed. They shouldn’t have to find us — we should always be just one click and one video view away.
