Witnessing the Global Media with James Scurry, Matthew Green, Manda Johnson & Robert Buxbaum

Witnessing the Global Media – Towards the Emotionally Intelligent Storytelling of the Future. In this Global Social Witnessing call, we turn our attention to the global media system itself—its pressures, its vulnerabilities, and the challenges faced by journalists in a 24/7 news cycle. Together, we explore how media shapes both our individual and collective nervous systems, and what a more healing-centred approach to storytelling could make possible. The session invites reflection on our relationship to news, the impact of media fragmentation on the collective body, and the role a trauma-informed media culture might play in wider societal healing. With James Scurry, Matthew Green, Manda Johnson, and Robert Buxbaum.
