If you’ve paid any attention to politics in recent years you’ve likely heard one word a lot: polarization. Merriam-Webster even made “polarization” its word of the year.
It’s a problem that’s been getting worse over time. A Pew Research Center report last year, found that an overwhelming majority of adults, 84 percent, said political debate has become less respectful over the last several years.
MPR News felt like there was a role for media to help bridge political divides. MPR News correspondent Catharine Richert took on that role by launching Talking Sense.
Minnesota Now brings you a special program, highlighting a year of work from Talking Sense.
