#16: Empowerment Avenue – bringing solutions journalism into prisons

There are few places where it is more difficult to be heard than
in prison. One of our guests in this episode, Emily Nonko helps
incarcerated people to publish stories on solutions by pairing
them with outside editors – while our second guest, Ryan Moser is
serving a ten year sentence in prison himself, and tells us what
writing in prison means to him, things that he's learned and how
he is preparing for a well-paying job in sustainable industries.


Hosted by Ed Crasnick and Jonathan Widder; edited by Nina
Bohlmann.
