The goal of journalism is to inform people. But many are finding themselves so distressed by the news that they are actively avoiding it.

Is the problem me — or the product?" and she argues that it's time for news outlets to rethink their purpose -- and start focusing on what humans need, which she says is agency, dignity and hope. Ripley joins us to discuss.
