All Things Media: The Journalist
"I'm a huge advocate of social media [journalism], but at the same time, I'm also a skeptic because there is a lot that you have to filter through to get to the actual hard fact truths."Our guide for today on this journey of communal actualization is Yasmena AlMulla, an NYU trained political scientist and freelance journalist, whose words frequently appear on Gulf News, Politics Today, Kuwait Times, Middle East Eye and Raseef 22. Yasmena mainly covers political, social, and human rights issues. I want to set the stage for this interview by shining the spotlight on Yasmena and her unique human journey and want to provide you the listener with the best practices for effective communication on matters that may be political or social in nature that frequently stir up reptilian emotionsReferences mentioned in this episode:Humans of New YorkCitizen JournalismReuters EyewitnessIconic Photo of the Syrian BoyBDS Movement (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction)BDS example in Apartheid South AfricaThe Present - Netflix Film on Palestinian Border Crossing Our Women on The Ground - A Book by Zahra HankirReach out to Yasmena at:Instagram @yasmenawritesLinkedinwww.yasmenalmulla.comReach out to broadband at:Instagram @broadband.podcastEmail aziz@seedsmedia.orgOther LinksReach out to luucid at:Instagram @luucidkwWebsite luucidkw.comFor guest recommendations Email hello@luucid.co
