The theory of change of journalism as it came out of the 20th century, David Bornstein says, is that shining a light on what is going wrong — what is dangerous and dysfunctional, catastrophic or corrupt — will mobilize and lead us to correct it. But this emphasis on the terrible and the extreme, from whichever side of our cultural trenches you inhabit, has helped fuel a paralyzing, dehumanizing fear and the collapse of trust in institutions and in each other. Many of us are turning away from the news altogether. Is that the answer? How to live in this world with this media and retain meaningful, reasonable hope and agency? And what are we not seeing and hearing that we can orient towards? There is no one wiser on these questions than David Bornstein.","meta_description":"A calming and helpful conversation for making sense of the very story of our time, and how that is coming to us and being powerfully shaped through media…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3293,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/on-being-with-krista-tippett-279891/episodes/david-bornstein-on-our-lives-with-the-news/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/on-being-with-krista-tippett-279891/david-bornstein-on-our-lives-with-the-news.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
