What is humanitarian journalism? | Decolonise How?

from The New Humanitarian

There's more than one way to cover crises, says Professor Martin Scott. In the second episode of Decolonise How?, host Patrick Gathara sits down with Scott, who studies media and global development, to discuss the ethics, practice, and impact of media coverage of crises. Scott popularised the term "humanitarian journalism". He explains what makes it different from mainstream journalism, and why the labels matter.  Decolonise How? is a new podcast by The New Humanitarian that examines the stories we tell about humanitarian crises.
