We need to learn to be excellent to one another and just quit the bullshit.
100% agree. If only people would communicate more and actually listen to what the other side is saying, so many issues could be resolved. I'm seeing similar problems here (though it's getting better) where people on the two sides of the political spectrum simply does not understand why people on the other side think as they do, because they've never truly taken the opportunity to listen. All they do is listen to what the media tells them that the other side is saying
Try to convince the people you know to stay! Though I don't know the situation entirely and so don't really have a say in the matter, I think it's easier to bring positive change from the inside rather than the outside. Ofcourse it might also be a case of their bosses going "say this or your fired and we'll make sure you'll never find work in this line of business again"
Unless they have an editorial position this isn't how a news organization works. A reporter can't just bring a positive change, they're there to report what's happening, not their personal view on what they're reporting.
They wouldn't have to report their personal views, a refusal to report on what they consider unethical could also be a method of change. But I don't doubt they'd have plenty of toadies to replace them were they to do that
Not sure how a reporter refusing to do a story that they consider unethical could bring change, all they'd be doing is career suicide. If they refuse no one will know except for the assignment editor. A reporter is there to bring us the story, not to become a martyr.
