Who’s reading or watching ‘the news’ anymore? Where do people get their news? Why are people so uninformed? Who ‘owns’ the news media? Is ‘news’ still a public service? Is anyone proofreading or fact-checking for truth? Are there generation or gender gaps in news consumption? Does ‘the news’ make money? What role is played by artificial intelligence? What’s happening to local news? We’ll explore these and other questions about the contemporary news environment.
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
