Program Description
Event Details
The news media landscape grows broader and more diverse every day. This can provide more opportunities than we have ever had for understanding our society, our communities and our world. But it also brings pitfalls, as special interests take advantage of social media sites like X, Tik Tok, Reddit and more and as even more traditionally styled newspapers, magazines and broadcast outlets openly favor particular social or political points of view. How do we navigate all this to get to the truth about what is happening around us? Daily Herald Opinion editor Jim Slusher, who has been discussing such questions in his weekly newspaper column for 25 years, will examine the scope of today's news media landscape and offer tips for finding reliable sources and identifying those with their own special agenda. He also will read relevant passages from his new book "To Nudge The World: Conversations, Community and the Role of the Newspaper."
