International journalism needs a new paradigm, and this is the moment to forge one. In the wake of the pandemic and ongoing racial and environmental justice movements, news consumers are demanding better stories. International coverage prioritizes disasters and victim-centered narratives, ignores huge chunks of the world, and relies on outdated stereotypes. This kind of news reinforces the distrust people feel for the news.

The solution, as Cristi Hegranes details throughout this book, lies with local journalists who live in the communities at the center of the stories. They can tell the accurate, precise, compelling stories readers across the world are desperate to read.

By changing the mindset around who covers the news and how people in that coverage are depicted, Hegranes charts a path the entire industry can follow back to build trust, authority, and great er success.

Résumé

Journalism is in crisis, but the solution is right in front of us.

It’s no secret that news outlets are struggling to maintain their audience, and journalism jobs are being cut to accommodate tighter and tighter budgets—all while the public regularly falls prey to “fake news.” Today, news consumers have lost trust in journalism. They sense, rightly, they aren’t getting the whole story.

By reimagining a model for international journalism, Cristi Hegranes has proven we can reverse this trend—by changing who tells our stories. Local reporters with proximity to events and access to diverse sources tell fuller, more accurate stories—the sort of news consumers have been demanding for years.

Featuring original interviews with some of the biggest names in journalism, including Nicholas Kristof, Carroll Bogert, Bobby Ghosh, Lauren Williams and Global Press reporters across the planet, Byline makes a bold case that international coverage led by local journalists can restore trust in the entire industry.

To enact this solution, the industry will have to let go of many outdated assumptions about what news people want, who has a right to tell their story, and just what security means in the new era of journalism.
