6/ To get more granular on belonging:
-Information: It allows you to access information to about the place/community to which you belong.
-Identity: It allows you to be represented and feel seen/heard.
-Agency: It allows you to participate in that place/community.

Election Day news diet—it’s a great day to consume:
1) service journalism (for voting help)
2) explainer on a political issue you want to better understand
3) voter guides from values-aligned orgs

also if we could better define "journalism" (the kind that's useful for people) we could paywall the extra "content" and keep the journalism free
You know what's confusing, wild, and dissociative?
Expecting journalism to be both a key component to democracy and behind a paywall.
