Towards Healthier Political News

Hugo Balta, as an SJN Complicating the Narratives fellow and director of solutions journalism & diversity, equity & inclusion at The Fulcrum, is trying to carve out a path to reporting on civic and political life that meets information needs and holds policymakers accountable in fresh ways. He brought Jaisal Noor, SJN’s democracy cohort manager, onto The Fulcrum Democracy Forum for a conversation on covering policy over personality, asking what your community wants to learn more about and how to treat potential voters less like spectators.
