¿Cómo generar empatía a través del periodismo? | Joseph Zárate | TEDxTukuy

We rarely stop to consider the human cost of the products and services we routinely consume. Our contemporary lives come at a high price, and often it is the invisible people who end up bearing it without benefiting in the same way as everyone else. In this talk, Joseph Zárate discusses the importance of putting a face to the victims of social and environmental conflicts and how, through journalism, we can build a more empathetic and humane society. Joseph Zárate is an editor at IDL-Reporteros, editor-in-residence at Radio Ambulante, and a professor of Literary Journalism at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences. He has dedicated his life to investigative journalism and has written chronicles and reports on environmental problems and social conflicts. His work has appeared in various media outlets in the Americas and Europe, including The New York Times in Spanish, Univision, Ojo Público, and Courrier International. Author of the book “Guerras del interior” (Wars Within), he has received the 2018 Gabriel García Márquez Award for Text, the 2016 Ortega y Gasset Award for Best Story or Investigative Journalism, and the 2015 PAGE National Award for Environmental Journalism, created by the UN. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
