CTN-trained freelancers tapped to co-edit successful magazine issue

Priyanka Shankar, a freelance journalist with Are We Europe, a border-breaking magazine, participated in the Solution Journalism Network’s Complicating the Narratives (CTN) training with the staff of Are We Europe. Shankar and another freelancer, Inbar Preiss, then were invited to co-edit an entire issue of the magazine and used CTN skills to explore the ongoing impact of colonialism in Europe. The issue sold out quickly. Shankar told SJN that CTN helped her and Preiss tackle their own confirmation biases through better listening. Shankar and Preiss reflected on their experience with CTN for the International Journalists’ Network (here: https://ijnet.org/en/story/journalists-europe-complicate-narrative-colonization).
