Common Ground Media

Common Ground Media: home of features, documentaries, and the future I-list Podcast.

Our goal at Common Ground Media, is to help rewrite the narrative around aspects of the human experience.

Instead of advocacy reporting, we create content encouraging our audiences to consider, question, and feel more connected to topics some might think only has a single perspective. Sometimes that means asking the oddly obvious.

Listen to producer Karen Lewellen wonder about needless tax form complexity.

Often it means simply that when more voices get heard, many more may discover common connections.

In the future, Common Ground Media hopes it will mean taking words like “Inclusion,” and expanding on all the vast and surprising ways the term can be defined. Through our upcoming series, The i-list.
