Welcome to Episode 10! Join my friend Tim and I as we discuss the journalism career field and what it looks like to navigate "fake news" as a Christian. We also discuss conspiracy theories, debunk myths about journalism and reporting, and talk about the Netflix documentary The Last Dance. Grab some coffee, your local newspaper, and a pen and paper because you are going to want to take notes. Tim has extensive knowledge in the world of journalism, and I learned so much. I know you will, too! Enjoy the show!
