At #listenlouder brilliant examples of what constructive journalism could look like in practice. The formats have one thing on common: they all force people out of their comfort zones. Just the place where learning and dialogue happen.

5 takeaways for constructive journalism from the 2022 Reuters DNR #listenlouder

„The truth is behind paywalls and the lies are free“ - Njoki Chege #dw_gmf

[Ranty Islam @2ranty]

At #dw_gmf insistent calls that journalism (be allowed to) report “objectively” mainly come from non-journalists. The term is too absolutist given our messy world. Many journos instead focus on more relational terms: need to serve the public interest, foster participation & trust

This @nytimes piece on gun violence is one of the best examples of what constructive journalism can do: great context, deep analysis and a very clear way forward. https://t.co/zHc1WnMzB4 @bonninstitute @PositiveMaren

@vueling So, after refusing to honor your promise to refund the money you owed us, PayPal finally stepped in and did it for you. Thank you for nothing Vueling. Never again!

[Ranty Islam @2ranty]

Hey @vueling you owe us money for a cancelled flight. Submitted request via your website, but got no response. You offer no phone number, no mail address, i.e. no customer service! Not happy. (I'm talking about refund (not compensation!) for VY1899 DUS-BCN on Feb 25 and return)

[Ranty Islam @2ranty]

@vueling I DM'd you with the info you requested. Once the issue is resolved I will note it here to conclude this thread. Thank you.

@sydneypage95 @washingtonpost This story made my day. Thank you. We need a whole lot more coverage like that. Not because the world is all smiles (it isn’t). But because it is not nearly as bad as our regular news fix makes us believe.
