In part one, we explore how news organizations are navigating the many major ongoing stories that currently dominate our news landscape, including COVID-19, the Black Lives Matter Movement, the federal government, the election, and many others.
My guest is Dr. Anita Varma, Assistant Director of Journalism & Media Ethics At the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
Dr. Varma specializes in humanization and news, as well as applying ethics in the practice of journalism and media industries. We explore how sourcing, framing, resources, and bias influence media coverage, and how journalists might address these challenges.
