The author reflects on their experiences growing up amidst significant crises and how journalism provided a lifeline of information and understanding during turbulent times. They recount key moments of their life that align with major events, illustrating a generational familiarity with chaos. However, with recent cutbacks in major news organizations, including the Los Angeles Times and Time magazine, the author expresses concern about the loss of journalistic integrity and accountability, stressing the importance of quality journalism in navigating political and economic challenges.

Crisis after crisis, what helped many of us channel our anxieties into something more productive were journalists responsible for writing the news.
