The September debut of "Upstanders" marked Starbucks’ first foray into producing original content – 10 stories about people creating positive change in their communities, in text, video and podcast forms.
It’s “journalism in the public interest,” says Rajiv Chandrasekaran, a former senior editor of The Washington Post who leads this effort along with chairman and CEO Howard Schultz, noting that these kinds of stories are often overlooked by traditional media. Before joining Starbucks in 2015, Chandrasekaran spent two decades reporting from more than three dozen countries and was bureau chief in Baghdad, Cairo and Southeast Asia.
Speaker: Rajiv Chandrasekaran, senior vice president for public affairs, Starbucks
