Video: The editorial director of NPR’s WHYY on journalism

A talk with the ever-entertaining Jamila Bey.

Fearless reporting, a behind-the-curtains look at how journalism is made — and an unabashed point of view. Welcome to Chills.

Here’s last week’s chat I had with Jamila Bey, the editorial director of WHYY in Philadelphia. Jamila talked about how she made her way up the ranks in journalism, what qualifies as legitimate sourcing, what comedy and news have in common, and what, fundamentally, journalism is — this last one will surprise you, I promise.

Join me on Monday for my next journalism chat. This one will be unique in that my guests will be a cult survivor (who is also a journalist) and two of the reporters who covered her story and those of other survivors. They’ll be Zooming in from three different continents.

Here’s a schedule of more speakers to come in the next few weeks.
