https://lnkd.in/gY5ks4f7 I read "The View From Somewhere" for the first time last year, and it was literally life-changing not only as a journalist, but as a person. There is also a podcast based on this book! I highly recommend the book and the podcast to anybody in journalism, and to anybody in general. It will challenge, inform, and interrogate your belief systems, how and why you "do journalism" in whatever capacity you do, and what you believe about the world and the way we learn and share information.
