Journalism is a Profession of Care and Connection

French journalist Nina Fasciaux, Director of Partnerships
and Fellowships at the Solutions Journalism Network,
believes that the crisis of journalism is, above all, a crisis of
listening. In this episode, she explores why journalism should be
more than the transmission of information – it should be
a profession of care and connection. Over the past years,
Fasciaux has trained hundreds of journalists around the world
in solutions journalism and in covering polarizing
topics in ways that inform without dividing. Her recently
published French book “Mal entendus”(“Misunderstood”)
examines how journalism can learn to listen more deeply and
compassionately — and why this might be essential to bridging
today’s growing political and social divides.

The non-profit Bonn Institute addresses the media
industry's growing need for networking and knowledge exchange on
constructive and user-centered approaches to journalism. Through
applied research, publications, events and training, the
institute aims to further develop journalism by placing people’s
interests at the heart of our work, which is especially important
in light of societal challenges. You can subscribe to the Bonn
