Sometimes the newsroom feels like school all over again. There are the favourites, the untouchables, and the ones who always get picked for the big stories. Talent matters, but so does who you sit with at lunch. Does anyone else notice the cliques?

This is the realest post ever. I hate the cliques and I hate that they exist. But every place I have work has had them.

I feel the same. It really does mirror school dynamics sometimes, and it is draining when talent gets overshadowed by who is in the “in crowd."

Yes, it really does feel like school dynamics all over again. Cliques can shape opportunities more than skill at times, and it is frustrating. I just try to focus on doing good work, but it is hard to ignore.

It's like this with any industry. I do think media is the peak it's who you know what you know and friends will always get better opportunities than those who work hard.

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.
