Proud of the work we're doing at IU --
A project I co-conceptualized and which The Media School at Indiana University is taking the lead on (in partnership with six other schools).

How lucky was I to have moderated "Journalistically Speaking: Covering the Capitol" on Feb. 17 in Washington, D.C, with IU/The Media School - Indiana University alums -- Washington Post photojournalist Matt McClain; ABC reporter Arthur Jones II; and Fox commentator/UPenn Perry World House Executive Director Marie Harf. Meaningful conversation overlapping with my work on mental health and media depictions - how journalists experience trauma and what to do about it; how they sometimes cause trauma, the need to ask why am I telling this story and who might be hurt or helped -- as well as the rise of AI, the challenges of reporting in a fraught environment in which facts aren’t agreed upon; and the need to break out of our echo chambers. To be continued. . .
enjoyed being interviewed for this podcast - horror movies, mental health,and dean'ing.
