Humanity in Journalism

In this episode, we sit down with Nick Anthony, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives and a fellow at the Human Rights Foundation. Nick has spent his career studying the intersection of money, privacy, and government power - and in this conversation, he breaks down one of the least understood financial risks facing ordinary people today: debanking. From how the process actually works behind the scenes, to the government tools that make it possible, to what individuals can do to protect themselves, Nick offers a clear-eyed look at a system most people don’t realize they’re exposed to until it’s too late.Humanity in Journalism is the storytelling arm of The Media Integrity Project, an initiative focused on media ethics, public education, and the human impact of journalism.
