Key take aways
The challenge of communication is linked to the technological advances: Everybody can and wants to communicate. But Who should I believe?
Large organizations that dominated media had their faults but were dedicated to objective media. Today There is more bias in the media than it used to be
The world is more complicated and reporting is more complicated. But today reporting is too fast. There is an inability to fully report.
