Kamentz had a stupid thought – that her lack of deep relationships with non-white sources reflected on those sources, rather than on her journalism. She aired her thought in public. People corrected her. She changed her thinking. That’s actually how social media is supposed to work for reporters. It’s not just a place where you broadcast your stories to a grateful audience, never embarrassing your employer or yourself. It’s a place where you can also think out loud and get feedback.
