If you want to protect yourself in modern times you need to operate with good information. But today's media landscape makes that nearly impossible as "fake news" has made people feel they can't trust any outlet. We can consume any news and get a sense of who is being truthful and who is using our eyes to make $ or control us.
In this conversation, Bounce Back Generation's director Jennifer Dhillon, and media expert, journalist, and UNCC instructor John Schacht delve into the complexities of navigating today's information landscape.

The conversation highlights the role of media in shaping public perception, the impact of ratings on news coverage, and the challenges of maintaining objectivity in reporting. They also explore consumer strategies for evaluating news sources and the future of journalism in a digital age, emphasizing the need for media literacy and engagement.
