Term "collaborative" sounds pretty wokey. How 'bout guild or league or group ?

Thanks Dave...my father (Dean Naven) long-time radio and television newscaster (KRNT radio, KOIL Good Guys, KMA, KMTV, KTIV, KWMT and lastly KVFD) saw this happening in his 48+ years in the business. He witnessed radio & television stations being gobbled up by larger stations. When KVFD got sold in the 90's? Management let him go ...but the local newspaper Fort Dodge Messenger had a journalist who wrote an article calling for a write-in/call-in to management to get him back on the air. (It worked)

I look askance at local news stations and want only the news. I don't like the personality-based newscasts. Old-school. Frankly I watch little local television newscasts. Only listen to local radio newscasts.

Humanity needs more journalists (print and on-air) in the field, especially now.
