Hey America, We’re Listening

Hey America, We’re Listening

WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.
If you could change how the media covers who you are, where you live and what you believe, how would you do it? We opened our phone lines and listened to you in a special show that goes beyond labels and identity politics, and pays close attention to what’s on the minds of Americans today. We’ll also hear a conversation Joshua Johnson had at the Aspen Ideas Festival with news media veterans James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, Melissa Block, host for NPR News and Charlie Sykes, a conservative commentator. Those three guests spent the last year traveling the nation, listening to Americans. What they heard and what they learned has shaped the way they cover the country’s communities.
