The New York Times on That UFO Podcast

Here's what happened when one journalist reported on DEI programs. I decided to just focus on the University of Michigan.

If you're a journalist, you are not on anyone's team. All you're trying to do is figure out as many of the facts as you can gather. The facts are going to guide you to where the story lands.
