Consider what steps could be taken to elevate the words we’d like to see dominating this cloud (such as “serve” and “relevant”) or featured to begin with (such as “responsibility”). In my research lately I’ve heard a repeated warning from many who are part of the discourse on the future of journalism: that things will have to get a lot worse before news media owners are willing to consider those steps. Looking at this cloud, I’m afraid they are right after all.
