An honest-to-god must read by a journalist who covered the Iraq war, got laid off, became a weed smuggler — and that wasn’t even the most interesting thing in John Koopman’s life, which is a parable for our times.

“A tight, terse, almost hard-boiled piece of remembrance that started with Economic Hardship Reporting Project and ended up at @RollingStone.”

Thanks so much to @Longreads for sharing our contributor John Koopman’s latest essay! https://longreads.com/2023/09/22/confessions-of-a-journalist-turned-weed-smuggler/

Especially true for how the media reports on the economy, often spouting terminology (quietly or blatantly) in support of the wealthy & thus influencing people’s understanding of poverty

As @lisquart says, “Altering language is just one way to correct journalism’s class issues.”
