Join the New England Equity Reporting Community of Practice for Reporting in a Polarized Society, an upcoming free webinar on September 14 from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.
Learn from Phillip Martin, Senior Investigative Reporter, GBH News Center for Investigative Reporting, how journalists can unpack and name the divisive forces hiding just below the surface, as well as the ones in plain sight.
How can journalists detect signs of polarization in the communities they cover and in the newsrooms where they work? Dividing forces are nothing new in American society, although recent years have seen an intensifying inflammatory narrative. Assumptions about both working-class populations and communities of color can be damaging.
