As we face the challenges of a second Trump administration, a free and independent press has never been more important. Yet our era presents significant challenges for both journalists and readers. The collapse of the traditional methods of funding has made working as a journalist a fraught enterprise. Misinformation and social media threaten to drown out thoughtful, accurate reporting. San Marcos-based freelance journalist and communications specialist Amy Kamp discusses her experiences working in the industry, focusing on her most recent work for local independent newspaper The Caldwell/Hays Examiner.
Amy Kamp is a longtime organizer, activist, and journalist, focused on reproductive justice, workers rights, and ending mass incarceration.
