The Conversationalist

The Conversationalist A nonprofit feminist media outlet focused on solutions oriented journalism and global perspectives.

The Conversationalist is a feminist media outlet focused on solutions oriented journalism and global perspectives, from the personal to the political. We are powered by community and believe in media that encourages empathy, curiosity, and human connection. The magazine is a platform for original reporting and commentary from writers with under-amplified perspectives. We take an empathetic approac

h to increase media literacy and inspire conversation around the most sensitive challenges in global affairs. During this time of global warming and declining democracy, survival demands both creativity and community. Just as extremism thrives in isolation, openness grows from trust and connection. We believe the media should encourage curiosity, offer nuance, and reinforce our dignity, humanity, and capacity for empathy. The Conversationalist is committed to publishing articles that accurately reflect our society. The magazine’s rich archive fuels our online community centered around creative problem-solving and human connection.
