Do you ever wonder why journalists do the things they do? Why do they focus on one thing and ignore another? Should journalists be champions of democracy or does that impede their objectivity? Why do they pretend to be unbiased? And why do they care so much about awards? Baffled with David DesRoches just might have some answers.
You might not agree with him, and that's the point -- to start a dialogue about this important industry. Hosted by an award-winning journalist (see that?), this podcast explores those moments when we consume media and say to ourselves, “Huh?” The goal is to offer thoughts on improving journalism and the media industry, and to also help non-journalists better understand the reporting process. In an era when distrust is as common as a cold, the need for podcasts like this cannot be overstated. So go and start one yourself!

Modern journalism has done some truly incredible work over the years. But we are not infallible. We are prone to mistakes. Most of the time they are unintentional, but often they are a result of institutional values that have gone unchecked for decades, if not centuries. This episode will explore some of those problematic values that have become embedded in the practice of journalism, specifically in the United States of America.
The podcast is a production of the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio, hosted and produced by David DesRoches, director of community programming and longtime journalist. He also wrote and recorded the theme music.
