Maslow's Pyramid, Fake News and the Future of Journalism | Bettina Chang | TEDxWrigleyville

In this era of 1985-esque news distrust, Bettina Chang’s TEDx talk, “Maslow's Pyramid, Fake News and the Future of Journalism,” lays out a framework through which we can believe in the news again, and in doing so, perhaps even believe in one another. Bettina Chang is known and recognized leader in the journalism industry. She is the cofounder and editorial director at City Bureau, a nonprofit civic journalism lab based on Chicago’s South Side. Previously she was executive digital editor at Chicago magazine; she also edited at DNAinfo Chicago and Pacific Standard magazine.
As a writer she’s covered bail reform, Illinois’ budget catastrophe and Sporty the Dog. As an editor and mentor she’s helped build a community of BIPOC journalists and allies, and is an advocate for racial equity and representation in newsrooms. In 2015, Bettina cofounded City Bureau to repair harmful local news coverage of people of color, envisioning journalism as a tool for change rather than an extractive practice. The organization’s mission is to bring communities together in a collaborative spirit to produce a new kind of media that is impactful, equitable and responsive to the public. City Bureau has since won awards for Best Startup, Best In-Depth Reporting, Best Education Reporting and the ONA Gather Award for Engaged Journalism. In 2019 the four cofounders of City Bureau received the Rising Star Award from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
Bettina is a proud Taiwanese American and native of the Chicago suburbs. She now lives in Chicago with her partner Darryl and their large-headed dog Wolly. Her star sign is “former camp counselor” and she loves all soups. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
