Journalism as a Unifier

“Beyond Polarization”: It’s not just a noble idea. It’s also the new podcast from Making Peace Visible, an organization that “connects peacebuilders with journalists, digital content creators and technology experts to amplify peace efforts.” And in the second episode, you can hear Sarah Jane Weaver, editor at the Deseret News, and SJN co-founder Tina Rosenberg discussing how to battle polarization with solutions reporting. They cover using solutions journalism to hold politicians accountable for campaign promises, how to avoid “feeding the fear factory” and plenty of other subjects that will help you feel like a civic superhero. This is a really satisfying listen.
