The Responsibility of Storytelling, Hanover F
No matter what subject is covered, the journalist’s
primary function is to tell a story. But it’s so
much more than writing down a few thoughts
or a casual conversation. When a journalist sits
down with an interview subject, that subject
is entrusting their story with that journalist. It’s
personal. So how do you do it? CNN Producer
Rebecca Angel Baer (and BBG alum) will tell
you all about how she’s made storytelling her
profession. She will walk you through her process
and share some tales (and she’s got a few!) from
her eight years on the road with the world’s
best cable news network. Rebecca writes and
produces human interest feature stories for CNN,
HLN and CNN.com.
Facilitator: Rebecca Angel Baer, CNN
