Podcasts about public affairs journalism

Journalism has radically changed because of the internet, social media and big data. We have already seen conspiracy theories propagated through Facebook, new age therapies suggested to deal with the COVID crisis, and, of course, several sources of information that cannot be controlled by governments and have been the fuel of democracy movements. Our guest will be the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Dana Priest. Dana has been with the Washington Post for over 30 years and is now the Knight Chair in Public Affairs Journalism at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. Dana Priest has significant insights into how the digital transformation of journalism is already creating challenges and will continue to impact humanity in the future, not necessarily in a good way, unless we can find technical solutions and policies to manage it.

It's a big deal when it comes to reporting issues important to the world of agriculture and issues that impact the rural Midwest and Nation.

Here we talk about what that means with Lyle Muller the former Executive Director of Iowa Watch and Pam Dempsey the Executive Director of Investigate Midwest.

In July of 2012, two young cousins went for a summer bike ride and never returned back home. Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, and Elizabeth Collins, 8 vanished from Evansdale, Iowa, and wouldn’t be seen for months. Their bodies were eventually found by hunters, but their killer has never been caught. There have been many suspects throughout the years, and even a possible connection to the Delphi murders, but their case remains unsolved.

Black Entrepreneurs it’s time to check in. How many of us have a self-care regime that supports our schedule and needs? As we juggle more roles in our daily lives and transition into and out of roles we need to ensure that we are replenishing. Lauren shares her story and solution to making self-care a priority. Lauren Elliott is a former journalist and became a holistic health advocate after she experienced an emergency delivery of her son only eight months after getting married. As a child, Lauren was drawn to storytelling and entered a creative writing contest at the age of 8. She eventually won that contest along with a spot on the front page of her school’s newsletter, which fueled a passion and curiosity for shedding light on communities who’ve gone unheard. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Media and Women’s Studies from the University at Albany and Master’s degree in Public Affairs Journalism. Now, she spends her time connecting millions of New Yorkers to healthier lifestyles by day while offering millennial women of color a practical approach to self-care as Founder of CandleLit Box. Giving birth motivated her to turn a fearful experience into a mission-based subscription service that eases the process of setting aside time for personal wellness prior to crisis situations. Through monthly delivery of books, candles, tea and wellness products, Lauren helps Black and Brown women manage their stress during major life events - whether it's college, promotion or motherhood.
