Part of the job—arguably the job—of good journalism is to expose that brokenness. It’s to shine a light in the dark places.
However by focusing so much on what isn’t working, we sometimes forget what is.
If ours is an era of building and rebuilding, what things are worth saving? What things are worth elevating? What things are worth remembering?
And:
America won’t be saved by politicians
or money
or technology
or celebrities.
It can only be saved across the land by “character.”
