In the past couple of days, Facebook has removed a few of my posts and discussions in journalism groups- mostly in the lines on how to cover events and conflict situations, specifically elections more inclusively. Most of these links and comments had a mention and explanation around why and how journalism should and can become more plurastic, inclusive, and complete - in the sense, how can we tell the whole story. Several of these posts and comments were linked to resources on the Solutions Journalism Network website and blog. Now the question is - Why is this argument on covering both sides of a story losing ground? (Stepping away from headline tendencies - it's not exactly losing ground; it's only that passionate, principled, seeking journalists have started questioning it! And that's so refreshing. I'm hoping for the losing ground part.) My thoughts - Because as we evolve as humans, we learn to acknowledge that there are more than two sides of the story/argument. As journalists, we must cover them all. This is the premise of Amanda Ripley's groundbreaking essay, which came after her very important book called High Conflict - both of which together founded this journalism framework called - Complicating The Narratives (CTN). Links in the comments. There's only a handful of professionals who work with and mentor journalists on CTN techniques, and i am one of them, accredited by the Solutions Journalism Network and trained personally by the best - Nina Fasciaux Julia Hotz, Amanda Ripley and Hélène Biandudi Hofer and team. #JustSaying If anyone is willing to know more about CTN. But first, even if you're not a journalist, read this very important piece below, and take a look at the essay linked in the comment too. Our communities, and our political systems, can only be as good as you are! Thanks Tina, for sharing this interview.
