Episode Synopsis

BREAKING BREAKING -- read all about it! Noreen and Jamie are covering -- you guessed it -- news. Specifically, how frustrating and biased news can be, and just what people are doing to get the truth. They also have their friend Claudia on as the guest "expert" (she's a reporter and may or may not write these descriptions), so get ready for some wine-fueled commentary and cold hard facts. Articles Referenced:PBS.org - "Milestones in the History of Media and Politics"HowStuffWorks.com - “How have 24-hour news stations affected society?”Fas.org - "Fairness Doctrine: History and Constitutional Issues"ReutersInstitute - "Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2019"ReutersInstitute - "Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2020"BBC.com - “Clickbait: The changing face of online journalism”Journalism.org - "The Facebook News Experience"WhatsNewInPublishing.com - “Publishing it right”: The future of slow journalismGround NewsTechStuff podcast - "The Facebook Algorithm Problem"
