Journalism and Compassion (February 9, 2012) [encore]




On Being with Krista Tippett show

Summary: Journalism can make us care -- or it can numb us to human suffering. Nicholas Kristof's columns in The New York Times wrap hard news inside human stories with broad appeal. Krista talks with him about the lessons of his life covering some of the worst atrocities in the world. He draws on insights of neuroscience, for example, to pierce through compassion fatigue.
