Konni Burton is the Founder and CEO of the Texan, a digital media outlet she founded in 2019 with the commitment of only reporting news on politics and public policy that is based on what is known to be true.
Recently, Konni has reported a rise in outrage and crisis news reporting — not only on the left, but also the right — along with the explosion of conspiracy theories. I talked with her about what she is seeing as someone in the media business and what steps she believes are essential to restore discernment and thoughtful analysis to create a healthier communication environment.
