What Is Dharma-Informed Journalism? A Premium Event

Join us on February 11 at 2 p.m. ET for a live discussion with journalists and Buddhist practitioners Daisy Hernández and Shane Kavanaugh. These longtime Buddhists and reporters will reflect on how their practice and perspective has—or hasn’t—impacted their work.

We’ll explore questions including: Can, or should, a Buddhist perspective influence the work of journalists? What could dharma-informed journalism look like? How might a Buddhist practice inform the craft of objective writing and reporting? How have each of these journalists’ own experience and outlook evolved?

This event is free for Tricycle Premium subscribers and $10 for general admission. Subscribe to Premium or upgrade your existing subscription for free access.
