Is the news doing more to you than for you?

Left and right agree on one thing: something’s broken in the news. So what would it take for journalism to serve *everyone* in a divided time? Moni asks two friends and partners in good trouble who’ve spent years on that question: Joy Mayer, founder of Trusting News, and Jonathan Stray, a data journalist turned conflict scholar at UC Berkeley. Together they go where journalists rarely dare. Should newsrooms hire more Trump voters? Can reporters stay curious without platforming hate? And with the midterms closing in, how do the rest of us find news that does more for us than to us?

Guests:

• Joy Mayer, Executive Director, Trusting News
• Jonathan Stray, Senior Scientist, UC Berkeley Center for Human-compatible AI
