Call for Contributions – Let’s Talk!

“Let’s Talk! A Dialogue About Dialogue” is a curated digital collection exploring the future of journalism and its role in shaping public discourse. This initiative brings together diverse voices—from journalists and researchers to media practitioners and digital creators—to examine how journalism can foster meaningful dialogue in an era marked by polarization, evolving formats, and declining trust in news media.

Worldwide, trust in news stands at roughly 40%, and the ways in which stories are told—by whom, how, and to what purpose—are being reshaped. From podcasts unpacking complex issues to slow journalism and grassroots communication efforts, the landscape of public dialogue is rapidly transforming. This project seeks to understand and highlight these shifts.

Topics of Interest

Eligibility 

Practitioners, researchers, editors, podcast producers, digital creators, media development experts, and thinkers engaged in advancing innovative, inclusive, or dialogue-driven journalism.
