Our storytelling cycle

A broken system

We believe the current approach to journalism is harmful, inequitable, distrusted, ineffective and outdated.

We see it in the chaotic 24-hour news cycle, bias toward conflict and negativity, cherry-picked quotes, and extractive relationships with sources.

And our community sees it, too.

How our storytelling cycle works

Guided by their manaʻo, we created an approach to journalism that prioritizes cultivating reciprocal relationships and creating systemic change — not just producing a story.

We’ll keep adapting this cycle as we test it out in our first storytelling project, wai{wai}: restoring abundance.
