In deze aflevering van CEO van mijn leven vertelt Meryem El Mandoudi, Belgische journalist die voor de liefde naar Nederland verhuisde, hoe ze van fan van Rudi Vranckx uitgroeide tot kritische stem in de mediasector. Van Karrewiet tot VTM Nieuws tot NOS op 3: Meryem werkte op de meest uiteenlopende redacties en zag van binnenuit hoe nieuws wordt gemaakt.Meryem legt uit waarom het woord "ontvoering" versus "gevangenneming" alles uitmaakt, hoe persbureaus en snelheid leiden tot onkritische berichtgeving, en waarom de Africa Cup een schoolvoorbeeld is van gemiste kansen door traditionele media. Ze deelt ook haar ervaring met online kritiek, van boze vaders over LGBTQ-content tot terechte vragen over Gaza-berichtgeving.Daarnaast gaat het gesprek over haar kinderboek over krullend haar, de voldoening van werken voor kinderen, en haar bewuste keuze om als freelancer 3 of 4 dagen per week te werken. Meryem onthult waarom financiële vrijheid voor haar betekent: minder werken en het wél graag blijven doen. Trends is een podcastkanaal van de redactie van Trends.

Today, Hunter spoke with journalist Piper French about the wrongful conviction of Jimmie “Chris” Duncan. In 1998, Duncan was convicted of murdering his girlfriend's 23-month-old daughter. Originally, Duncan was charged with negligent homicide as it appeared his story, that he stepped away for a few minutes while the child took a bath and then she fell and drowned, was accurate. However, the notorious peddler of the junk science bite mark “evidence,” Dr. Michael West, conducted a dubious autopsy where he pressed a mould of Duncan's teeth into the body of the girl. With this dubious autopsy and the help of a jail house snitch, the state convicted Duncan of capital murder. Since then, Duncan has been fighting to prove his innocence, but with Governor Jeff Landry's drive to increase the number of executions in the Louisiana, Duncan might never get the chance.     Guest Piper French, Part Time Staff Writer at Bolt Magazine, Freelance Journalist   Resources: Read the Article Here https://boltsmag.org/the-human-cost-of-jeff-landrys-drive-to-resume-executions/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/louisiana-execution-bolts-chris-duncan-jeff-landry-death-row-capital-punishment/  Read more by Piper Here https://www.psfrench.com/ Contact Piper piperstrehlowfrench@gmail.com https://x.com/pipersfrench https://bsky.app/profile/psfrench.bsky.social Read more About Duncan's Case Here https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/stop-the-execution-of-an-innocent-man-jimmie-chris-duncan/ https://www.propublica.org/article/louisiana-jimmie-duncan-bite-mark-analysis-death-row-junk-science   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?
