Should you NOT tell a story?

22 minutes Posted Mar 21, 2020 at 6:31 pm.

Gus tells about a New York Times story about Indigenous Inuk communities in Canada where a journalist should've probably not have been the one to tell a story, or at least tell it very differently.

We chat with the editor of Briarpatch Magazine, Saima Desai, who has thought through the questions of how to assess who is best to tell a story, and how much that has to do with "identity."

we discuss the interview with Saima, and give some bonus ASMR to our trusted listeners. Let us know if you want more!
