S2 E1: Behind & Beyond Sold a Story with Emily Hanford
Reading Road Trip
Here is an extract from the podcast above and my comments. LINK
It is a profound misunderstanding of journalism. What role does a journalist play? A journalist hasn’t been the thing they are covering; a white house reporter hasn’t been the president… The point of journalism is to investigate and uncover important stories. Journalists ask questions and explain things and we investigate and we look at the data.
I have referred Emily to my book Shut Down Kids and asked her if she has any idea why many kids shut down/ disengage from learning to read. How do these kids get to grade level and are maintained at grade level after a short intervention period?
What have Emily and APM investigated following my several emails to them beginning in 2017?
What data did they look at?
