- how does the internet create our world view (the water)?
- what is shared knowledge, its importance and why is it diminishing?
- tech disrutptors (new tools that come along) impact Journalism and the News – the medium affects the message:
- as a society we are susceptible to conspiracy theories and Fake news (biases, psychology, memory)
- we need Journalists who are storytellers; who utilize the new tools effectively; we need YOU to be critical consumers….because there is a relationship between Democracy and a Free Press and an informed society (images)
