Journalists and filmmakers alike are reevaluating the traditional lines of authority and authorial voice, experimenting with ways to give more agency to the subjects of their films and news stories. The new approaches aim to rebuild public trust in journalism, and to foster less extractive forms of storytelling. At high risk in the variety of new collaborative approaches, however, are First Amendment and other legal protections that rely on the ability to demonstrate an absence of bias. Amid these shifting values, we’ll hear from the creators of the series Philly D.A. and the documentary The People v. Agent Orange about their approach to opening the reporting process, and learn, too, about how courts and distribution platforms are looking at the issue.
