Byline bias

I’d like to offer a quick bit of feedback from a first-time reader, if I may. I was disappointed to see Jason Thomas-Fournillier described solely by his asylum status in your list of contributors ( Jan/Feb), which seemed unkindly reductive when everyone else was described by their profession. Presumably Jason has a profession, or had one before he was forced to seek asylum. Either way, I am sure he is much more than just a temporary immigration status.

I’m going to keep the faith and keep turning the pages. I am pleased to have discovered Prospect and agree you occupy a vital space “in a desert of information chaos.” I remain optimistic.
