Leave ‘neutrality behind,’ Soros-funded UT Austin journalism program says

The “Solidarity Journalism Initiative” at University of Texas at Austin teaches students to “convey outrage” and and abandon neutrality with the funding of top tech companies and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

The initiative, which is part of the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Media Engagement, “helps journalists, journalism educators, and journalism students improve coverage of marginalized communities,” according to its website.

“The people who know the most about an issue – based on lived expertise – are missing or minimized in news coverage,” according to the website’s Solidarity Reporting Guide.

“The decision to report – or not report – on these conditions inherently leaves neutrality behind,” the Solidarity Journalism program states.
