S2E7: Jim Rutenberg|Absolute Truth

About This Episode:

This week we talk with Jim Rutenberg, Media Columnist and former political correspondent for the New York Times.

We learn how at its core, investigative journalism is about connecting the dots. We hear about how the dots connect evidence to reveal the truth. Jim shares views about the recent headline story of Michael Cohen and the hush money paid to two women on behalf of a very public figure. As Jim points out, just as story can build you up, the unravelling of a story can bring you down…

More importantly we discuss the skills and attributes including interest and excitement, curiosity, passion, care and authenticity- that make for good storytelling.

Can anyone tell a good story? We believe so.
