the HARD SCREEN publishes commentary and critique on critical social issues. Our reporting is based in research and historical or other contexts. We excavate the social constructs underpinning current cultural narratives which too often are lopsided in their viewpoints. Over time, these narratives can spiral away from truth and enter the terrain of falsehood.

In the words of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Connie Walker: “If you don’t correct the record, the stories that people tell can start to seem like the truth.” 

the HARD SCREEN was founded in 2019 by journalist/author Tamryn Spruill.
