CounterSpin
This week on CounterSpin: The stories news media tell are something different than the facts they report.
The facts may say what happened where; the stories tell us who’s the hero and who’s the villain, how important the fight is, and whether we should care about the ending.
Sonali Kolhatkar is the host and executive producer of the daily radio and TV program Rising Up With Sonali, and the racial justice and civil liberties editor at Yes!
Her new book, Rising Up: The Power of Narrative in Pursuing Racial Justice, will be published this month by City Lights.
Transcript: ‘Intentional Storytelling Is a Way We Can Fight for a Better World’Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look back at recent press coverage of work requirements.
