There is no reason to just hang out with journalists just because you yourself are a journalist.

There is no reason to just hang out with children just because you yourself is a child.

There is no reason to just hang out with owls just because you yourself happen to be an owl.

It would be an incredibly boring world if we just socialized with people who agree with us, did the same things we did and agreed that the same part of that Morrissey-track was the best musical achievement since Mozart's Requiem.

That's why you should go to the nearest library and borrow a book about a subject you know nothing about. Exert yourself finding the best book on the subject. Make use of the expertise available at libraries in the form of people who have actually been trained to help you. Librarians are not furniture. Ask them.

Right now I'm sitting with a book about fatherhood. I know nothing about being a dad. But I'll learn as much as I can to make it as good as possible.
