An expert on anger shares some strategies for helping communicate and mediate with angry people we interact with. Then we discuss what the public loses when journalism online is kept behind paywalls.

Featured in this Show

  • Strategies for facing anger in other people

    A University of Wisconsin-Green Bay expert on anger talks about his new book. We get into case studies and practical advice for responding to angry people in your life.

  • The information gap created by journalism paywalls

    Some news outlets have paywalls on their online stories to generate enough revenue to pay their journalists, but this can create an information ecosystem where the only people who have access to quality reporting are those who can afford it. A journalism ethics professor joins us to explore how media companies can balance their competing interests of generating revenue and informing the public.
