The next time someone calls a reporter "biased" or an activist — especially someone who is a woman, a person of color, LGBTQ+, an immigrant, and/or disabled — ask them to articulate the difference between bias and expertise: longreads.com/2018/03/29/i...

Then she asked me a question I hadn’t considered before. What is the difference between a bias and expertise?

In a previous newsroom she worked in, there were a few people who had pilots’ licenses. When a plane crash happened, those people were looked to as experts. Similarly, newsrooms seek to hire people with military experience, seeing that as expertise as opposed to bias. Many news outlets sent reporters to cover Hurricane Maria who were either Puerto Rican or had lived in Puerto Rico. Ho believes she’s a better business reporter because she worked in banking for three and a half years.

So why do we consider some lived experiences — being a woman, being a person of color, being queer, having had an abortion — biases, and others expertise?

As loneliness affects thousands of people across the country, in today's @irishtimes.com I spoke to one man who is struggling with being on his own,while ALONE Ireland offers advice on how people can cope - and they urge the government to take action asap. www.irishtimes.com/health/your-...

Loneliness: ‘I usually say I’m fine, but the reality is, most days, I’m at home by myself with my memories’

Ireland is the loneliest country in Europe, statistically. Campaigners want urgent Government action
