Publisher that \u201cno job is worth destroying your mental health. You don\u2019t want to be a part of a newsroom that still subscribes to the archaic practice of bullying early career journalists as a means of initiation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpecifically for young Black female journalists \u2014 take up space,\u201d she said. \u201cYou belong in whatever space you dream of, so dream big. Find mentors in your newsroom who will advocate for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarke was inspired to pursue journalism by her childhood in Baltimore, realizing that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/publicintegrity.org\/inside-publici\/in-public-view\/people-will-tell-your-story-wrong-if-youre-not-in-the-room\/\">people will tell your story wrong if you\u2019re not in the room<\/a>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before joining Public Integrity in March 2021, Clarke worked at NBC4 Washington as a production assistant and weekend assignment editor. She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, where she studied multiplatform journalism and Arabic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its own investigative reporting about inequality in the U.S., Public Integrity aims to build capacity for similar work at local news organizations primarily serving communities of color. In a short time, Clarke has worked to build equitable partnership models that put power in the hands of those closest to the communities affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe minute you meet her, you know she\u2019s a leader and a rising star,\u201d Litwiller said. \u201cAshley does and will continue to push traditional journalism by challenging outdated confines of what investigative journalism is, who is represented within the stories and how their story is told, and who gets a seat at the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/## toolTips('.classtoolTips10','<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tax or tax system where wealthier people pay a greater percentage of their income than poorer people.
