#16: Empowerment Avenue – bringing solutions journalism into prisons

Jonathan Widder | Posted on March 3, 2022 |

There are few places where it is more difficult to be heard than in prison. One of our guests in this episode, Emily Nonko helps incarcerated people to publish stories on solutions by pairing them with outside editors – while our second guest, Ryan Moser is serving a ten year sentence in prison himself, and tells us what writing in prison means to him, things that he’s learned and how he is preparing for a well-paying job in sustainable industries.

Hosts: Ed Crasnick, Jonathan Widder. Editing: Nina Bohlmann.
