That's true. Journalists are supposed to be fundamentally curious and profoundly interested in what's happening around them.

You're right. It's time to stop discouraging each other.

This doesn't mean we stop trying to critique each one's work and stop debating with each other's viewpoints. It is part of our growth as journalists.

There is a world of difference between critiquing and discouraging. The second one refers more to how the one criticized reacts.
