In the second episode of this three-part series, we explore how journalists can improve their reporting on homelessness with special guest Kate Cagle, anchor and reporter for Spectrum News 1 SoCal. Kate is a standout in the field, known for covering news authentically and bringing an honest lens to her reporting on homelessness in Los Angeles. She shares her insights on trauma-informed reporting, building trust with vulnerable communities, and the critical role journalists play in accurately telling the stories of those experiencing homelessness. As homelessness rises and legacy media continues to face challenges, the importance of ethical and empathetic reporting is more crucial than ever. This episode offers valuable lessons for journalists and anyone interested in learning how authentic reporting can drive change and shape public perception.
