Shaw discusses how she attempts to not editorialize during her broadcasts, but that it is impossible to completely separate journalism from activism. She talks about how the choice of topics she covers is itself influenced by who she is. She mentions some of these topics, including the achievement gap, poverty, and the urban-rural divide. She gives some examples about the importance of educating people about race relations and other topics.
