OCTOBER 2026
Journalism is at a breaking point marked by local news collapses, mass layoffs, and DEI rollbacks. While organizations experiment with new models and equity initiatives, these significant debates often disappear once the news cycle moves on. Without sustained documentation, the profession risks losing its institutional memory and the critical lessons needed to shape a more equitable future.
Since 2020 is a permanent physical and digital archive of journalism's evolution after a time of upheaval and commitments.
Stories and materials from Since 2020 will appear here as the project launches.
The Objective examines systems of power and inequity in journalism: how newsrooms treat their workers, how journalists interact with their community, and what new forms of journalism can look like.
