What Is News?

In What Is News?, host Radzi Chinyanganya introduces the concept of news: its history, purpose, and its potential downside. From its earliest iterations, news provides the information needed for people to make decisions and stay safe. Today, technology allows us to learn information in real time on both a local and global scale. It can be overwhelming to know what to give our attention to and what is real or fake, so it’s necessary to be a smart consumer of news and have trusted sources.

How Do Journalists Find the News?

In How Do Journalists Find the News?, host Radzi Chinyanganya explores how journalists find and gather their news, ask the right questions, and let their curiosity drive them. Today, journalists still look to trusted sources, correspondents, and news agencies, but they also use online tools like social media to discover what the public is talking about. Then they send teams to the scene to talk to eyewitnesses, emergency services, and to gather statements.

Getting the News Right

In Getting the News Right, host Radzi Chinyanganya explains how crucial it is that journalists separate facts from opinions and truth from fake news in this age of disinformation. In the case of a violent attack in Sudan in 2019 that killed over a hundred people, there were no journalists on the ground. Instead, BBC journalists gathered and analyzed over 300 phone videos from civilians and activists to verify accuracy. By verifying the facts, they were able to hold those responsible to account.

Different Perspectives

In Different Perspectives, host Radzi Chinyanganya explores how journalists avoid bias in the media by showing a range of opinions so that people can decide what they think for themselves. For example, in one report, a teenager named Nikita regularly protests his government in Moscow. He admits that not everyone shares his negative views on Vladimir Putin. A second report describes Putin in both the eyes of his supporters and opponents. His supporters see him as popular and charismatic, but his opponents think he leads by force and has taken away freedoms.
