In this episode, we explore the journalistic norms that have driven the profession, and why evolving those norms could lead to stronger coverage of the stories that affect us. This includes using more inclusive language, seeking sources outside the realms of official authorities, and striving for newsroom diversity.

My guest is Steve Bien-Aime, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Journalism at Northern Kentucky University… and adjunct instructor at the Poynter Institute.
