Why Homelessness Messaging Isn’t Working — A Journalist’s Perspective
Manage episode 524201437 series 3589030
In this episode, I sit down with journalist and Invisible People writer Robert Davis for a thoughtful, honest conversation about homelessness messaging and why it so often falls flat. We don’t agree on everything, and that’s what makes this discussion important.
We talk about why slogans and clichés don’t persuade people, how research gets lost without storytelling, and how anti-homeless narratives spread faster than the truth. Robert brings a journalist’s perspective on the collapse of legacy media, ethical reporting, and why human-centered storytelling still matters. We also dig into Housing First, public frustration, and what it really takes to change minds in a polarized world.
This is a conversation about listening better, communicating more honestly, and rethinking how we talk about homelessness.
