How to Repair Our
​Media-Driven Polarization

Vertical Divider

If you examine the narratives presented by liberal and conservative news organizations on important stories, you’ll see they typically are polarized.  That is, each side literally says the opposite of the other.  This form of polarized news reporting places liberals and conservatives in opposite worlds, and it renders them incapable of holding meaningful dialogue. 
We witness the destructive consequences of this polarization daily.  We see close friends and family members sever ties over political disagreements.  We see policymakers fail to find the slightest bit of common ground.  We see employees bring their political disagreements into the workplace.  And we see corporate leaders publicly take sides on polarized issues, seemingly unaware that they are alienating half their employees and customers.  
In this talk Mr. Mercier illustrates the techniques the news media use to generate polarized news narratives, how this destructive practice harms us, and what we can do at both the individual and organizational level to address the problem.
