ep4 - Media and journalism as mouthpieces for forests in an era of multiple truths and competing and conflicting story lines #WorldForestVoices - Sharing the voices of forests

Social media, traditional media and journalism play an instrumental role in services as the eyes of the public, access to information and amplifying messages. With such a capacity, the media as a whole possesses an enormous potential to amplify messages and accelerate mass mobilization for action on forests and the environment – however, it is evident that the media is still far from sufficiently projecting the role of forests in the global sustainable development agenda.

In this fourth episode of the #WorldForestVoices podcast, we hosted two special guests: Elna Schutz, a freelance journalist specialising in narrative journalism and podcasting, focusing on stories around science, health, and more, and Yeshiel Panchia, a freelance journalist working in multimedia, producing breaking news photos, photo-essays and video content for local and international publications. Both our guests participated in the GLF-FAO media seminar organised in the lead of the World Forestry Congress.

Listen and enjoy the voices of people and forests!
