Like so many, national arts reporter geoffedgers has been grounded by the coronavirus. Recently, he chatted with musician, writer and biking enthusiast David Byrne about how to pass the time.
It’s a kind of solutions journalism sort of thing, where you highlight places, people, initiatives that have started solving problems in ways that maybe can be mimicked and copied. So we’re not interested in a billionaire giving money to a hospital; that’s a one-off solution. It’s a very nice thing, but it’s not a real solution. We’ve started a series now called “Now Anything Is Possible,” which is specifically about being in the pandemic and where people are kind of reassessing their values.
Obviously a lot of people with big names and celebrity audiences use that bully pulpit to get political, whether it's on the left or the right. Tell me about your decision to really stay out of that.I have my own personal feelings about things and my own personal political slant. But I don’t bring that into my public persona or the work that I do.We’re seeing enough partisan politics. I don’t think partisan politics is getting us anywhere.
