Communication vs. Transparency

Transparency and communication are often treated as the same thing.But they’re not.Transparency is about making information available.Posting documents.Publishing agendas.Sharing notices.Communication is about making that information understandable.And that’s where the gap begins.A government can be fully transparentand still leave people confused.In this episode, we break down why information being public doesn’t always mean it’s accessible… and why what people call “lack of transparency” is often something else entirely:A lack of understanding.This episode isn’t about criticizing openness.It’s about explaining why transparency alone doesn’t automatically build trust. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit poormanspublishingco.substack.com/subscribe
