    Who is journalism for?

    How can journalists make sure their stories reach the people they’re about? This month on Backlight, we talk to journalists who are rethinking how and who they report for.  Part 1: Beatriz and Tessa speak with Cynthia Gichiri, a multimedia journalist at Africa Uncensored, who took a story about the health dangers of pesticides on the road through rural Kenya to get it to the farmers most at risk. Part 2: A conversation with Mazin Sidahmed, who co-founded Documented, a newsroom that was designed from the ground up to serve immigrant communities in New York City in the languages they speak on the platforms they already use. Part 3: 5 practical things journalists at any outlet can do to make sure their reporting reaches affected communities.  Investigations mentioned: Cynthia’s ‘Poison PR’ documentaryHosts: Beatriz Ramalho da Silva, Tessa Pang Sound Design: Spoovio - Audiovisual Productions  Website - Twitter - BlueSky - and you can email us at backlight@lighthousereports.com

    Tracking deforestation from space

    From recording the scale of war damage in Gaza, to tracking environmental crime in Brazil, remote sensing technology has become an invaluable tool for journalists around the world. This month on Backlight we’re speaking to two journalists, Lu Min Lwin and Lucelle Bonzo, who spent months working alongside the Lighthouse team to investigate the biggest re-greening program in the Philippines. Using remote sensing analysis, they found widespread illegal deforestation across more than 100,000 sites that were supposed to be protected. They talk us through the methods behind the investigation, and share resources for journalists looking to incorporate remote sensing in their own work.

    What journalists can learn from content creators

    What would journalism look like if it wasn’t written for an editor, but for your best friend over dinner? In this Backlight episode, we dive into how news content creator-journalists are redefining the way stories are told and what traditional journalists can learn from them. On this episode, we hear from news content creators Johanna Rüdiger, Johnny Harris, and Adam Cole (Howtown) about how they build trust, make complex stories engaging, and connect with audiences to make the facts feel a little more fun.

    Investigating border deaths in the shadow of US election

    In this episode we take you behind the scenes of our latest U.S.-Mexico border investigation, Drownings and Deterrence in the Rio Grande.  This episode is a collaboration with The Border Chronicle.  More women and children are drowning trying to reach the US as Texas and Mexico militarize the border. In collaboration with the Washington Post and El Universal, our team requested records of drowning deaths which reveal for the first time how the river separating the US and Mexico has become a graveyard for migrants. In this episode you’ll hear some of the stories of those who drowned along the river. We talked to Lighthouse editor Melissa del Bosque about how we got the data, and what the findings of the investigation say about the reality of the border post-election.
