Block & Build

We Don’t Need a “Joe Rogan of the Left” w/ Adam Johnson & Hermalinde Cortés


Listen Later

This week on the show we’re exploring the challenges of building a progressive media ecosystem and mainstreaming movement narratives in existing corporate media. First, Adam Johnson, co-host of the Citations Needed podcast, joins Cayden to help us understand the current state of play in media and public relations work and why it’s against us by design.

Then Cayden talks with Hermelinda Cortés, Executive Director of ReFrame, about her organization's research on the ways narrative links traditional and social media to create the social “weather” conditions for our movements. They dig into ReFrame's post-election efforts to help build deeper, more powerful, and farther-reaching movement narratives.
