"We had to take a step back and question our biases"

September 12, 2018 Mischa Nachtigal

For Season 2 of That Moment, Pivotal’s Shorty Award-nominated podcast, we decided to iterate. We have a new host, author and podcaster Doree Shafrir, and a revamped format. Each episode has a central theme and for the season opener, we’re looking at conflict zones through two lenses: humanitarian aid and reporting.

When it comes to refugee camps, cost and efficiency are at the forefront of design. Usability often takes a backseat, and sometimes with disastrous results. Pivotal recently teamed up with the Human Innovation Fund to create user-centric latrines, and we talk to Pivotal designers Aly Blenkin and Ellie Ereira about what they learned and how it can be applied to future projects.

Every day journalists are risking their lives to report from conflict zones like Iraq and Syria, but behind the scenes, a team of people makes sure they get home safely. We talk to BuzzFeed's security advisor Eliot Stempf about why this moment in time is different for journalists reporting in conflict zones, and why investing in security is necessary for every media organization.
