Today, we’re talking about framing - the editorial decisions that determine not just what gets covered, but how it lands, and what gets left out. It’s a conversation about craft, accountability, and what it really means to present information fairly in a fast-moving trade media environment.Humanity in Journalism is the storytelling arm of The Media Integrity Project, an initiative focused on media ethics, public education, and the human impact of journalism.
