What Exactly is ‘Good’ Journalism?

Christy and the AOC gang are back with another episode of Mind on Media: Conscious Conversations, always increasing the dialogue around relevant media literacy topics and challenging you to think critically about the realm of media as we know it. In this episode, we’ll be discussing the essential role of journalism within our local community as well as within our society at-large. Join the convo with us today as we discuss what it means (and what it takes) to be a ‘good’ journalist in the modern age of the Internet & social media. Guiding questions: How would you define journalism for the uniformed viewer? What are the qualities of a good journalist/a good story? Can anyone be a journalist? What lies in the future for integritous journalism? Thanks for tuning in to our Conscious Conversations. As always, you can find more info for all things media literacy and media production on our website, aocinc.org. We hope you join us for the next episode. Goodbye for now!
