Silicon Valley Friday Show podcast: TechTruth fellows chart the future of journalism
This week’s Silicon Valley Friday Show podcast (episode 5), recorded in Houston at the Grace Hopper Celebration in Women in Computing, features young journalists in the TechTruth Fellowship sponsored by SiliconANGLE Media and The GroundTruth Project.
The fellows, who produced news stories from the conference and did reporting for upcoming features, are Karis Hustad, Pooja Sivaraman, Tori Bedford and two junior fellows and aspiring journalists from Palo Alto High School, Alicia Mies and Peter Maroulis. Other stories reported from the conference can be found at SiliconANGLE, the TechTruth Women in Tech site and the GroundTruth Project.
The TechTruth initiative and nonprofit fellowships were launched at the Grace Hopper conference as a joint effort of SiliconANGLE Media and The GroundTruth Project founded by Charles Sennott, who has a mission to advance the next generation of correspondents. The inaugural project is a technology-focused fellowship that focuses on Women in Tech. More broadly, the new initiative will cover the intersection of technology and social justice.
“Our real mission [is] to bring a new generation of journalists along and have them cover the biggest stories of their generation, but to do it from being there, being on the ground,” said Sennott, who counts the Ford and MacArthur foundations among the project’s donors. “This generation of journalists are really coming up in a time of great disruption in media. Traditional media is failing. The new media is not giving them the opportunities they need.”
Join me every Friday at 8 a.m. Pacific for our live podcast from Palo Alto. Spread the love.
