  • Yeah, women!

Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: Why are certain stories about missing or murdered marginalized individuals not getting enough coverage?
There's systemic bias in media narratives, and many stories, such as those of Indigenous and Black women, struggle to break into mainstream true crime media.
Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: Can you walk us through how a case even makes it onto Dateline's radar?
We read newspapers daily, receive calls from various sources, and attend story meetings to decide which cases to pursue.
Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: What originally drew you to crime storytelling?
Initially, I was a political reporter, but I realized that true crime connects with people in ways that typical political news does not.
Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: How does it feel to be so iconic that Bill Hader has done impressions of you?
It's surprising; as a reporter, you don't think about being recognized in that way when you start your career.
Judy Reyes on ICE Raids, Humanity, and the Power of Storytelling
Q: What can storytelling offer that news cannot?
Storytelling can provide a deeper emotional connection to experiences and communicate complexities of human suffering in ways that traditional news reporting cannot.
