Bearing Witness w/ Jason Lavigne

Welcome to a brand-new episode of "Good Morning with Jason,” where we delve into the profound impact of witnessing and documenting events in our ever-changing world. Today's episode is incredibly special as we are discussing a resource close to my heart - my book, "Bearing Witness: The Ethical, Legal, and Practical Guide to Recording and Sharing History.”

In this comprehensive guide, I encapsulate the essence of being a responsible, ethical, and effective witness, shedding light on the significance of documenting remarkable events. From practical considerations of preparing to witness events to the intricate dynamics of ethical and legal concerns, this book is an essential resource for journalists, activists, and even ordinary citizens with nothing but smartphones.

We will journey together through each chapter, discussing everything from the historical significance of witnessing to the vital role of whistleblowers. We will look at how technological advances are revolutionizing witnessing and touch on the psychological impacts of bearing witness to historical events.

"Bearing Witness" is not just a book - it is a call to action. It is an invitation to each of us to actively document the world around us, contributing to a legacy of truth and justice. So, let us dive in, dissect, and discuss the complexities and implications of bearing witness.
