Episode 302: Creating Equitable Newsrooms that Connect with Communities
Once upon a time, Americans turned to trusted news organizations to learn about their shared reality. Today, the media people consume as “news,” fractures that shared world, leaving a divided and distrustful public. What can news organizations do to reverse this? And why does the survival of journalism as an institution matter for communities and democracy? On this episode of News Over Noise, hosts Matt Jordan and Cory Barker talk with Media Scholar Andrea Wenzel about success stories in local news organizations and what they mean for the future of journalism.
