I loved this article! What I really love is the irony considering this showcases vulnerability aswell and I love it even more for it. I did want to ask you something though,in the last paragraph you talk about writing being good which is impossible however slow journalism has helped use produce better writing, were you saying that writing isn't always perfect or very often doesn't represent marginalised people however slow journalism has helped us see different povs therefore more honesty which has actually improved learning through writing and connecting with it overall? Thank you! This is really long sorry...
Thank you for your kind words! And yes, that's exactly what I was trying to articulate–that while "good" writing, and by extension "good" art is arbitrary, slow journalism is producing more honest, and more holistic and nuanced writing. Thanks for reading <3
