We’ll remember how interconnected our world is
“After a year of constantly relearning our vulnerabilities, as individuals and communities, I hope we all carry more empathy and more understanding of our shared humanity with us into 2021.”
2021, we hope, is the year we emerge from the pandemic. When we start rebuilding. So my predictions for the future of journalism and news are about the direction I hope we build in, and two of the lessons I hope we take from this year.
First: The pandemic taught us how interconnected our world is, as we watched a virus slowly and then very quickly sweep across the planet. It also showed us how universal a lot of our core human experiences are: fear and sickness, loss and grief, isolation and longing.
