Description: Reinventing Journalism to Strengthen Democracy: Insights from Innovators by Linda Miller, Ben Trefny, Paloma Dallas, Jennifer Brandel, Eve Pearlman, Martin Reynolds, Darryl Holliday, Paula Ellis, Michelle Holmes, Doug Oplinger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description We live in a time of deep distrust--of each other, the media, and institutions of all kinds. In this volume of essays, innovative journalists from newspapers, public radio, civic media groups, and new media collectives examine how weve reached this point. The loss of newspapers and fracturing of the information ecosystem have weakened our sense of a shared identity, but many people have long felt excluded, misrepresented, and unable to see themselves and their experiences reflected in news reporting. These essays highlight opportunities that are emerging as old practices give way to the new demands of an engaged, diverse, and restive public. They call on us to create a more inclusive democratic narrative that better captures the rich diversity of our nation and its complicated history. About the Kettering Foundation The Charles F.
