Podcast appearances and mentions of David Bornstein

A calming and helpful conversation for making sense of the very story of our time, and how that is coming to us and being powerfully shaped through media and journalism. The theory of change of journalism as it came out of the 20th century, David Bornstein says, is that shining a light on what is going wrong — what is dangerous and dysfunctional, catastrophic or corrupt — will mobilize and lead us to correct it. But this emphasis on the terrible and the extreme, from whichever side of our cultural trenches you inhabit, has helped fuel a paralyzing, dehumanizing fear and the collapse of trust in institutions and in each other. Many of us are turning away from the news altogether. Is that the answer? How to live in this world with this media and retain meaningful, reasonable hope and agency? And what are we not seeing and hearing that we can orient towards? There is no one wiser on these questions than David Bornstein.Krista spoke with David Bornstein before a small group of citizens of Minneapolis in November, 2024. Find an excellent transcript of this show, edited by humans, on our show page. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.BIODavid Bornstein is co-founder and CEO of the globally esteemed Solutions Journalism Network.

Journalism should be about solutions, and tech can help make that possible according to David Bornstein of of Solutions Journalism. The post JOURNALISM BUILT ON SOLUTIONS! appeared first on sound*bytes.

Journalism's problems today are legion: Collapsing business models, attacks from political partisans, divisions in the profession over basic questions like objectivity. But none of these is solvable until newsrooms address their troubled relationship with audiences: Too many people don't believe journalists work in their interest. Many avoid news because they find it too pugilistic, too downbeat. Today's guest has spent the past decade and more addressing the all too real negativity bias in the news. He's David Bornstein, co-founder with Tina Rosenberg of the Solutions Journalism network. Solutions Journalism diverts the news media's relentless focus on conflict and turns a clear-eyed spotlight on people attempting to solve problems. David and Eric discuss the difference between solutions journalism and local-hero feel-good reporting; we cover the generational change drawing young journalists away from news organizations and into personal branding; our profession's addiction to covering politics like a horse race; and the role of solutions journalism in restoring trust in professional media. Produced by Tom Plattssoundsapien.comWebsite: www.in-reality.fm

David Bornstein has a long history in journalism and founded the Solutions Journalism Network out of his belief that the hard work that people all over the world do to solve tough problems is history's most under-reported story.  His organization trains journalists around the country on how to pursue and write stories not just about our problems, but also on the encouraging solutions emerging to solve them.  David's vision is both logical and inspiring, and his efforts are paying off with a growing network of journalists and outlets embracing his philosophy and practice.

“The one embedded bias that we definitely have when we get up every day to cover the news anew is that we're biased for democracy. Let's just admit that. So if you're biased for democracy, then you have to be biased for racial justice, because racial justice is embedded in the democratic promise.” - Deborah DouglasSome of the most polarized debates in the United States today stem from issues of race, from policing to how history should be taught in schools. Our guest this episode, award-winning American journalist Deborah Douglas, believes the answer to polarization isn't to cloister ourselves in so-called “safe spaces.” Rather, she sees journalism as a “brave space” to excavate the impact of America's racial history on the current moment. Like previous guests Amanda Ripley and David Bornstein, Douglas practices Solutions Journalism – which looks at how systems work to solve social problems – and how they could work better for more people. Deborah Douglas is the Director of the Midell Midwest Solutions Journalism Hub at Northwestern University in Chicago. She's also the author of US Civil Rights Trail: A Traveler's Guide to the People, Places and Events that Made the Movement. In the past, she's been co-editor In chief of The Emancipator, founding managing editor of MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, and much more. Find Deborah Douglas on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @debofficialy.

About five or six years ago, host Amanda Ripley started noticing that her normal news diet left her feeling depleted and depressed. She tried mixing up her news habits, even avoiding it for awhile, but nothing helped. It felt like a shameful secret. Shouldn't journalists love consuming the news? She began to wonder, is it me....or is it the news itself? On this episode of How To!, the first of two parts, we'll hear from several of our listeners who feel the same way. We'll also talk with Nicole Lewis, Senior Editor of Jurisprudence at Slate, and a longtime reporter on the criminal justice beat; and David Bornstein, co-founder/CEO of the Solutions Journalism Network, and former contributor to the New York Times' Fixes column. Together they'll discuss how the news became so broken, and how we can put it back together again.  Resources:  Solutions Story Tracker® Fear of Rampant Crime Is Derailing New York City's Recovery by Fola Akinnibi and Raeedah Wahid I stopped reading the news.

Amanda Ripley is a journalist, and even she, like millions of Americans, decided to turn off the news. So what needs to change? Ripley has an answer, and it begins with giving people hope. Joe Segal, Amanda Ripley and David Bornstein join Meghna Chakrabarti.

Like a lot of people, I find the news these days dispiriting. But it's not just the events being reported that I find depressing, it's the way they're being reported: scored with a relentless drumbeat of negativity that makes me feel as if I'm being marched to the edge of an abyss, only to be left there alone to contemplate our increasingly bleak future.They may not think of themselves this way, but journalists are storytellers, and the way they tell their stories shapes how you and I see each other and our world. The problem, however, is that journalists usually tell us only half the story – leaving us with a very distorted view of reality.In this interview with David Bornstein, co-founder and CEO of the Solutions Journalism Network, we learn how journalists around the world are being trained in a new approach to the stories they write, one that doesn't shy away from the problems, but that also, with equal journalistic rigor, reports on how those problems are being solved. It's an approach to journalism that not only helps create a more complete, and more hopeful, understanding of our world, it also has the crucial side effects of helping good ideas spread around the planet, while simultaneously helping to restore the people's trust in the Fourth Estate.

In this episode we're talking with Katya Fels Smyth about what it means to see and create change from a fuller frame. We too often see people as what is broken and our attempts to “fix” the human beings, allow problems to just get deeper. There is another way of thinking about how we orient ourselves, our public systems and our society that could give us all a fair shot. Listen in to hear more about our opportunities for creating more equitable health and wellbeing. Katya grew up in New Jersey and went to high school in Massachusetts, where she volunteered at one of the state's first shelters for homeless families. While getting a degree in biology from Harvard, Katya continued working with people who are homeless, eventually becoming co-director of one of Cambridge, MA's first emergency shelters. A hit-and-run of one of the shelter's guests, uninvestigated by police, combined with the advice and vision of other shelter guests, led her to found Cambridge-based On The Rise, Inc. in 1995. On The Rise was widely recognized for its Full Frame Approach to working with women facing homelessness, trauma and crisis. In 2007, Katya left to work on what would become the Full Frame Initiative. She has an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Episcopal Divinity School, and a deep belief in the power of people to do good by and for each other.

Brightcove’s David Bornstein discusses how they’re helping to transform the cultural event into must-watch TV.   In normal years, the month of March means people are about to flock in droves to Austin, Texas — home to South by Southwest. The gathering has become an increasingly high-profile cultural event, a conglomeration of an interactive media and tech conference with a concurrent film and music festival. But this year it's all happening online.   One of the entities helping to execute SXSW in its digital incarnation, beginning March 16, is Brightcove, which will provide the video platform through which the content will be delivered. On this episode of Eventful: The Podcast for Meeting Professionals, Dave Bornstein, Brightcove’s field chief technology officer, discusses how the production of this year’s SXSW will differ from much of the virtual event content we've been consuming online over the past year.   In this conversation, Bornstein tells Michael Shapiro, Northstar Meetings Group’s editor of news and technology, about how his team is creating an event where the attendee “grabs their remote, not their keyboard” (4:18), how it balances scheduled content and viewers’ choices (8:45) and the unique challenges of producing content for an event such as SXSW (12:20).

David also shares practical advice on forming a social entrepreneurship and offers simple action items everyone can do to create systemic social change.

Welcome to today’s episode of the Decoding Purpose podcast.I have been really excited to share today's episode with you for two reasons. Firstly because I think the content is going to flip your perspective on what it means to completely own your purpose, but also because today's guest has been a great friend and a mentor for more than 15 years. A person whose brain, insights and wisdom about life and business embody what it means to be ‘world class’.I was reading a quote the other day by a thought leaders called David Bornstein, and I think that this quote sums up perfectly the relevance of today's interview. To share Davids words with you...he said:“An idea is like a play. It needs a good producer and a good promoter even if it is a masterpiece. Otherwise the play may never open; or it may open but, for a lack of an audience, close after a week. An idea will not move from the fringes to the mainstream simply because it is good; it must be skill-fully marketed before it will actually shift people's perceptions and behaviour.”To provide context on this quote while it's one thing to have a purpose, without influence purpose is just an idea. Purpose might guide the ship, but influence is the sail. So with that in mind, what does it take to to own your voice - and then amplify it to drive an industry, a conversation, a movement or a nation because if we can understand that, then we can really understand the power that is purpose.Todays guest is the incredible Julie Masters - Founder and CEO of Influence Nation. She works with business leaders and organisations to become the voice of authority in their space. With 15 years of experience and management in the speaking world, she earned a reputation for launching and advising some of the world’s most respected thought leaders. Clients include industry leading CEO’s, speakers, best-selling authors and media personalities – the voices of which have reached millions of people globally through speaking, publishing and digital channels.Over the years, Jules and I have spent hours diving into the nuts and bolts of what makes a big idea tick, and our interview today was no different. We explored:The power of digital access channels in driving influential purposeWhat takes an idea into the kind of velocity to create a movementWhy is storytelling a currency in influence, and what are the components of great storytellingWhy contribution, consistency and certainty will take your purpose to the next level.Why intention trumps authenticity every timeWe also explore the connection between the rise of purpose and the rise of influencer marketing… and much much more.With that in mind, kick back and enjoy today's episode of Decoding Purpose with the Incredible Julie Masters. Welcome to the podcast.

When I stumbled upon Ashoka in the book "How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas" by David Bornstein, I was curious. I wanted to learn more about it because I'm game for all things entrepreneurship. In this episode we learn about; how a Venture Capital (VC) works, what a social entrepreneur is, and how Ashoka funds these "social entrepreneurs." Curious about any of these topics? If so, I'd suggest giving this episode a listen!Ashoka Website: https://www.ashoka.org/en-USParisar Asha: http://parisarasha.com/Don't follow our social media pages:https://linktr.ee/TRBBPTwitter: https://twitter.com/trbbpodInstagram: https://instagram.com/trbbpod

The public's faith in journalism is at the lowest point in living memory. A recent Gallup poll for the Knight Foundation found that most U.S. adults said they personally have lost trust in the news media in recent years. More than 9 in 10 Republicans feel this way. The recent uproar over the rush to judgement and media coverage of the Covington Catholic story is the latest damaging controversy. “Boys in Make America Great Again Hats Mob Native Elder at Indigenous Peoples March,” was the first New York Times headline about what happened. But by the next day a much more complex picture began to emerge of what had happened. "The weekend began to take a long, bad turn for respected news outlets and righteous celebrities," wrote Caitlin Flanagan in a long and thoughtful analysis in The Atlantic about why the media "botched" the story.The news business is also reeling from years of job losses and budget cuts. Newsrooms at many local and regional newspapers have been decimated. More newspaper layoffs were announced in recent weeks, while many online journalists are losing their jobs at Buzzfeed and Verizon's media division. Jim and Richard look at journalism's crisis and consider whether readers, viewers and listeners may be partially to blame. We also hear from Aron Pilhofer, professor of Journalism Innovation at the Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University, and David Bornstein co-founder of Solutions Journalism Network.

The news media is under fierce attack from President Trump; White House Strategist, Steve Bannon; and many other critics.While many claims against the press are overblown, now is a good time to look at arguments for constructive change. We decided to re-air our interview with New York Times journalist David Bornstein, co-founder of SolutionsJournalismNetwork.org David says that solutions journalism focuses on what works now as potential solutions. Using the best available evidence, solutions journalism delves deep into the how-to’s of problem solving, often structuring stories as puzzles or mysteries that investigate problems. One recent example: Initiatives that show success in reducing the dropout rate in public schools. Reporters looked at how these programs work. What are successful school systems doing differently that result in better outcomes? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Too often, news coverage is all about clashes, controversies and contests.  The way the media cover major events can have a profound impact on our view of the world.  In this episode, Jim and Richard - both journalists themselves - are joined by David Bornstein, who writes for the Fixes blog of The New York Times and is co-founder of SolutionsJournalismNetwork.org.  "The news tends to focus far more on what's wrong than on the credible efforts around the world of people who are trying to fix things, whether they are successful or not." David tells us.   "I think the main thing is that the problems scream and the solutions whisper. The problems are always clamoring for attention. Solutions, you...

Impact beautifully distills the insights and deep wisdom of one of the world's great social innovators. Etmanski's book is far more than a practical guide: it's an invitation to re-imagine possibilities for our lives and for the world we create.”David Bornstein, author “How To Change The World” Al Etmanski is a community organizer, social entrepreneur and author. He is a founding partner of Social Innovation Generation (SiG) and BC Partners for Social Impact. Previously he co-founded Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN)with his wife Vickie Cammack and Jack Collins. Al is an Ashoka fellow, and a faculty member of John McKnight's Asset Based Community Development Institute (ABCD).  Al Etmanski is helping to alleviate the financial and social challenges commonly faced by peoples living with disabilities by working directly with families. PLAN is a family-led organization founded to secure the future for people with disabilities and helps to develop personal networks and provide advice, assistance and advocacy on government benefits, home ownership, and legal and financial solutions for persons with disabilities. Al successfully initiated the world's first Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) to benefit 500,000 individuals with disabilities, and the organization has mentored over 40 similar organizations worldwide. It is the first and only program of its kind, and is a life changing social financial innovation that is currently running only in Canada. Al Etmaksi's new book: Impact6 is about the six different pattern areas you can identify to spread your social idea and change. It's a blueprint and action plan for innovators, entrepreneurs and change-makers looking to have a social impact in their community and country. Pattern One: Think and Act like a MovementPattern Two: Create a Container for Your ContentPattern Three: Set the Table for Allies, Adversaries and StrangersPattern Four: Mobilize Your Economic PowerPattern Five: Advocate with EmpathyPattern Six: Who Is as Important as How Impact6 explores the difference between short term success and lasting impact. It's for those who have wondered why, despite our best efforts, talent and money we have not made as big a dent in our social and environmental challenges as we'd like. Impact6 profiles more than 50 Canadians who are achieving lasting social impact, looking past quick wins and surface-level victories, and paying attention to the deeper patterns of change. Al's hope is that this book will shine a light on the good work Canadians have done, are doing and will do to move the dial, change a paradigm, tip a system and achieve lasting social impact. The book also explores the three different types of innovators Al says are necessary to create lasting and high impact social change. Receptive Innovators, Bridging Innovators and Disruptive Innovators As many of you know, I think it is important to not only interview impact investors, but also the entrepreneurs who are doing the kind work that aligns with impact investors goals and values. Al's lifetime of work and social contribution comes in a field that is far too often not discussed in the fields of social enterprise and financial innovation –but is in my opinion very important and in a realm very worthy of discussion and highlighting. This interview is more of a conversation and philosophical exploration than an informational interview. Al takes his time and makes sure to answer thoughtfully and deeply, speaking as though he was talking to an old friend.   BONUS: The entire first chapter of Impact is available on Al's website and is chalk full of resources and bonus material! http://aletmanski.com/books/bookclubs/ www.aletmanski.com http://www.rdsp.com/ Twitter: @aletmanski www.impactinvestingpodcast.com @impinvpodcast

Today's guest is Sam Caster of EM Squared and Jon Copper of Nutrition on Mission. Sam Caster "In 1998, founders Sam and Linda Caster donated to an orphanage organization based in Romania. When the directors of that organization thanked the Casters for their contribution, they expressed their growing concerns for the children in their care. Malnutrition was taking its ruthless toll on their lives. In desperation, the directors said, “If you know anyone that can help us with this problem, please let us know.” With the world’s most advanced nutritional and wellness technology at their fingertips, Sam and Linda donated a one year supply of nutrient support. One year later, the directors came back wanting more and out of the direct need, MannaRelief was born. A little over a decade later with thousands of people around the world joining together, we’re addressing the problem of malnutrition for children everywhere." Jon Copper "I am a Social Entrepreneur. I started Nutrition On Mission with the intent of creating a sustainable business model to nourish children with malnutrition, as well as create micro-enterprise opportunities in those same communities we nourish children."  Biblical Entrepreneurship "Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart."  ~ Proverbs 11:11 Key Takeaways If you offer your customers something of value they will be more receptive to your services. You have to be competitive in the marketplace. Especially if you are a non-profit. "Concern with building platforms that enable more people of every age to think and behave like change makers, to help them work together powerfully in teams of teams to facilitate rapid circulation and sharing solutions on a global scale."

A reading of an article from The New York Times by David Bornstein called "A Plan to Make Homelessness History" that I found incredibly moving.

Montreal native and McGill alumnus David Bornstein (BCom '85), journalist and author of How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, discusses the emerging “citizens sector” and the creative things ordinary people can do to have an extraordinary impact on the world around them.

David Bornstein is a leading expert on the global rise of "social entrepreneurism." In this audio interview, Globeshakers host Tim Zak asks how we would know a social entrepreneur if we saw one on the street. More important, why should we care? Who invests in social enterprise and what is at stake for our world if we don't? https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/david_bornstein_-_how_to_change_the_world
