In this episode of the Space In Between Podcast, host Leigh Morgan discusses the evolving landscape of media with award-winning journalist and podcast producer, Arjun Singh. They explore the reasons for the dramatic decline in trust with traditional media, the rise of ideologically inspired media platforms, and how media eco-chambers fuel the proliferation of division. Singh emphasizes the concept of fairness over objectivity in journalism, and the challenges traditional media face in adapting to the digital era. They also address issues like low news literacy among the public and the importance of consuming news from multiple sources to get a balanced perspective. Singh shares his personal approach to journalism centered on overtly sharing his biases, and engaging with subjects of his reporting from a place of  empathy and respect. He also explains the distinction between empathy and sympathy and how to hold firm to one's values while also finding connection with people who hold different views. Lastly, Singh finds hope in the public's curiosity and desire to learn, which suggests that people are still invested in understanding the world around them.Support the show
