Prior journalism and production experience
Using human-centered storytelling to explain a complex public issue
Selected journalism and production experience
Context
Some public issues are difficult to explain because the facts span medicine, policy and lived experience. A strong story has to make those connections understandable while treating the people at the center of the issue with care. Dylan led a long-form program built around that challenge.
- The challenge
- A complicated public issue involved medical, policy and deeply personal dimensions. The story needed to explain the issue clearly without losing sight of the people affected.
The approach
Connecting facts, expertise and lived experience
Dylan researched the issue, worked with experts and affected families, developed the narrative structure and wrote the program. He coordinated the final broadcast production so interviews, explanatory material and personal stories worked together as one clear piece. The process required careful fact handling, editorial judgment and respect for the people whose experiences carried the story.
