Social media queen Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) used her Twitter platform to defend journalists amid a series of sweeping layoffs across the media industry.
In a Saturday tweet, the freshman congresswoman cautioned that the biggest threats to journalism right now are tech monopolies & concentration of ownership, advocating for high-quality journalism.
Without a diversity of news outlets, she warned, our democracy will continue to crumble.
