the narratives

Sanne will introduce you to the journalistic practice of Complicating the Narratives that draws from the experience of experts in conflict mediation. The strategies and techniques help journalists tell richer and fuller stories about divisive issues – stories that illuminate and provide clarity and understanding, not further division.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The 4 pillars: listen differently, go beneath the problem, embrace complexity and counter confirmation bias;
  • Why journalists need to complicate the narratives;
  • Examples of CtN stories.

Who can attend:

  • Freelance journalists (it will be held in English);
  • Maximum 20 participants.

Journalism trainer

I’m a certified Solutions Journalism trainer and I had a chance to join the first Complicating the Narrative train-the-trainers in June 2023. This online training is for me to get certified as a CtN trainer and participation includes being part of a recording and filling out a feedback form afterwards.

I’m based in The Netherlands and work remotely.
