…Being a community journalist is a responsibility none of us carries lightly – it’s a badge of service we wear with pride. But in some of these spaces, particularly Facebook, we’ve faced a disturbing degradation of constructive dialogue, increasingly dominated by misinformation, hate, conspiracy and deeply hurtful commentary.
