Everything Is Broken

I guess we can safely add journalism and the open web to the author's pet list of broken institutions.

> Give up on our current institutions; they already gave up on us.

> Sometimes the task of rebuilding—of accepting what has been broken and making things anew—is so daunting that it can almost feel easier to believe it can’t be done. But it can.

I can't really tell what (if anything...) actionable we the audience are supposed to take from this article. "Give up on your old institutions and build new ones!" is not exactly actionable without profound bloodshed, which I think is unlikely to be what the author wants.
