Dinowitz.

Permission to explain my vote?

Permission granted.

I just want to highlight that in today's transparency resolution, we're funding for the first time ever a journalism for all, a brand new initiative entitled Journalism for All.

And as journalism in and of itself is one of the most incredible things that we can provide for the education of our students.

But as we transition to the portrait of a graduate, it is more clear than ever we need to make sure we are doing what we can to invest in the types of rigorous education that work,

ask students to be introspective and reflective, get multiple perspectives on an issue, and we in the City Council are doing that with our transparency resolution today.

So I want to thank also publicly the Journalism for All Coalition for all of their work over the past few years on this initiative, and I vote aye on all.
