In this episode Ginger and Iris dive into the "theory of change" a term coined by David Bornstein of the Solutions Journalism Network. Basically the idea that reporting on how bad everything it will lead to a better world.

Now that the global news stream on our phones is being updated every 2 minutes how can our nervous systems handle to being inundated with everything that's going wrong while being offered few if any solutions?

Can a better world emerge when so many avoid, deny, blame and don't trust the media? What could nurture journalism look like and what impact would it have on how we view and respond to the world around us?
