Empowerment journalism is an approach that emphasizes collaboration between journalists and communities to produce stories that are both accurate and meaningful to those directly affected.[1] This method seeks to move beyond traditional "parachute journalism," where reporters briefly visit a community without fully understanding its complexities, often leading to superficial coverage.[2] Empowerment journalism involves co-creating content with community members.[3]
The term "empowerment journalism" was coined in 2016 by Peter W. Klein, a journalist and professor at the University of British Columbia.[4] The Global Reporting Centre, which Klein founded, developed the Empowerment Journalism Guide,[5] as an effort to empower marginalized communities that report being ignored or misrepresented.[6] The approach puts storytelling power in the hands of story subjects, an approach that violates mpst news standards that require independence from story subjects.[7]
One of the earliest efforts to use "empowerment journalism" was theanthology film "Strangers at Home," which featured stories from marginalized communities in Europe, including immigrants, Roma people, Jews and Muslims.[8] PBS NewsHour featured an 8-part series called "Turning Points," which put storytelling agency in the hands of Indigenous people in the Arctic, who told stories of struggles and resilience with alcohol dependence.[9]
This approach to reporting is still in its infancy, not yet accepted by many mainstream news organizations. As noted by scholars Maya Lefkowich, Britney Dennison and Peter Klein: "By reimagining the 'newsroom' within – rather than distinct from – communities, [empowerment journalism] illustrate[s] tensions and opportunities for journalists to transition from gatekeeper to collaborator and empower story 'subjects' to produce and own their content."[10]
