HEBREW PODCAST: פרק 3- לבנות מציאות חדשה מהפציעה לשיקום – יחד

יד ביד ובלב פתוח עם רוזיתה פניני | פרק 3- לבנות מציאות חדשה מהפציעה לשיקום – יחד

 כשהלב חזק מהרגל – סיפורם של בוריס שטונדה וסידני רונסון הוא תזכורת כואבת אך מעוררת השראה למה שבאמת מחזיק אדם ברגעיו האפלים ביותר: קשר אנושי, נחישות ואמונה

בוריס, לוחם שנפצע קשה בקרב, מצא את עצמו בבת אחת עובר מהחזית לקרב מסוג אחר. לצידו עמדה סידני 

רונסון

זה לא רק סיפור על פציעה גופנית, אלא על ריפוי הנפש. זהו סיפור על גבורה שקטה שאינה מחפשת מדליות – אלא חיה בתוך מבט, חיוך, ויד תומכת. זהו סיפור על קשר מיוחד בין שני אנשים, שכל אחד מהם בחר – בדרכו – לא לוותר

זהו פרק עוצמתי ומרגש על שבירת חומות של ייאוש ובניית חומות של אמון. על הפיכת הבדידות לכוח, והפציעה – לנקודת מוצא לבניית חיים חדשים

HEBREW PODCAST: פרק 2 - תובנות מעולם החקירות והעיתונות

יד ביד ובלב פתוח עם רוזיתה  פניני | פרק 2 - תובנות מעולם החקירות והעיתונות

בפרק הזה אני מארחת את העיתונאי והפרשן יעקב לפין, שמביא איתו ניסיון עשיר מכתיבה לעיתונים מובילים בישראל ובחו”ל, לצד עבודה עם מכוני מחקר וביטחון.

בשיחה כנה ומרתקת, דיברנו על איך זה להיות מאחורי הקלעים של החדשות: איך בוחרים מה לסקר, מה עובר על כתב שמסקר אירועים בטחוניים מורכבים, ואיך שומרים על איזון בין עובדות, אחריות מקצועית, והאדם שמאחורי המילים. 

“לפעמים הסיפור הכי גדול הוא דווקא זה שלא התפרסם.” (יעקב לפין, ציטוט מתוך ספרו)  

זהו פרק שפונה לכל מי שסקרן להבין איך באמת עובדת התקשורת, איך נראה היומיום של עיתונאי שפועל בלב אזורי המתח – ומה המחיר האישי של כל כותרת
