In this powerful first episode of a three-part series on journalism and homelessness, we sit down with Shawn Pleasants, a Yale graduate and former business owner who experienced homelessness while living in a tent in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Shawn's life was dramatically impacted when a CNN story brought attention to his situation. This podcast goes beyond Shawn's personal journey—it's a vital training tool for journalists on how to cover homelessness with respect, empathy, and dignity.
Shawn shares his firsthand experiences with journalists and explains the importance of treating homeless people not as statistics or subjects, but as human beings. "If you're willing to tell our story, you need to meet us where we are. Sit with us, understand us, and be patient. That’s how you tell an authentic story,” he says.
This episode highlights why it’s essential for journalists to approach people with lived experiences of homelessness with compassion and understanding. Shawn reflects on how harmful narratives and disrespectful treatment can reinforce stigma, while respectful reporting can build trust and change lives. "The words you choose shape how people see us—and how we see ourselves."
By listening to the voice of lived experience, this episode provides invaluable lessons for journalists on how to report on homelessness in a way that honors the dignity and humanity of those affected. It’s not just a podcast for journalists, but for anyone looking to understand the deeper truths of homelessness and the power of storytelling to create change.
