Talking Politics and Media with Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey | Create for Change Podcast #3

On this episode of Create for Change, we’re joined by Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey, a White House correspondent, best-selling author, and powerhouse journalist who has spent his career operating at the absolute intersection of media and change. Dr. Quartey discusses his career journey, his professional return to journalism, and offers insights on our current media and political landscape. We explore the unique challenges and changes Americans are facing in 2026: an oversaturation of mis- and disinformation, the affordability and housing crisis, and the rise of independent media as fewer people turn to broadcast and big names for information. Dr. Quartey’s wide range of experiences informs his insights on our current moment, and his hopes for the future of leadership in our country. Learn more about Dr. Quartey on his website, drniiq.com.
