Reporting as a foreigner<\/strong><\/h3>
B<\/span>ill Radtke hosts \u201cThe Record,\u201d<\/a> a daily in-depth interview program on KUOW, Seattle\u2019s NPR affiliate. This past February, before coronavirus upended everything we once considered the top issues of the day, he spoke with author Isabel Allende about her latest book, \u201cA Long Petal of the Sea.\u201d<\/a>

\"Isabel<\/a>
Isabel Allende<\/figcaption><\/figure>

I haven\u2019t read the book, which is the expansive story of two people who flee the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s looking for refuge and a sense of home. I first heard the interview this week, on a long drive through the mountains from one place of isolation to another. Two things \u2014 an as-yet-unread book based in an event I know little about, and a months-old interview \u2014 might have made the conversation feel irrelevant in the crucible of COVID.

The opposite was true. Allende and Radtke spoke of the fragility of democracies in the face of determined fascism, of the rising refugee crisis around the world, and of the insecurity and disorientation that faces anyone displaced from what they know of as home.

The full interview is worth a listen, but what caught my attention most is how Allende talked about fiction vs. nonfiction, and how much her fiction depends on real life. One moment, especially, which comes with 5:13 left in the 22-minute interview<\/a>, made me go back and listen again and again. She is talking about the difference between being an immigrant, a refugee and an exile. At age 77, she defines herself as all of the above at some point, but now as none. She is, she says, a \u201cforeigner.\u201d Her definition of that is a great statement on the role of a storyteller, whether, whether they work in the world of fiction or nonfiction:
\u201cIt\u2019s good for a writer. Because it gives you perspective. When you belong in a place for too long, you take everything for granted. You don\u2019t question anything. You know the rules. You know the codes. But when you\u2019re a foreigner, you\u2019re always observing and listening because you want to understand. You ask. And in the asking, you get the stories.\u201d<\/strong><\/blockquote>
I have long believed that all reporting needs to be foreign reporting. No matter whether we\u2019re covering a story on the other side of the world or across the street, we are visitors in that world, and need to see it not through the prism of our own experiences and assumptions, but to observe and ask about the experience of those we are writing about.

Reporting the way to empathy<\/strong><\/h3>
O<\/span>ver a career immersed in stories, I realize I hear echoes. They show up everywhere \u2014 in conversations with friends, in history, in novels, in movies, and especially in journalism. They remind me how history is not always in the past, how someone else\u2019s experience is also mine, and how the reporting we do is always about others \u2014 but that others are us.

\"Evan<\/a>

An echo came this week in an end-of-year note from a member of a writing group I\u2019m part of. The woman who posted it is a trained scientist who now writes about science \u2014 and hikes in the mountains and bakes with her children and sings in her church and plays music. She leads all of that with the challenging questions of a scientific mind \u2014 something that\u2019s not always comfortable, for her or those she questions, but is a hallmark of good journalism.

The prelude to her note said it was \u201csomething that captured me \u2026 and will continue to guide my work as a truth seeker and storyteller.\u201d

Then this, with a link to the Nieman Storyboard post<\/a> where she first read it:
\u201cReport your way to empathy. If you can\u2019t see the world through your subject\u2019s eyes, the answer is more reporting.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014Evan Ratliff<\/a><\/strong><\/blockquote>
