Over the last few years there has been a growing discussion and debate about what journalism is. The term “fake news” has become extraordinarily prevalent in our public discussions. And, we’ve seen social media provide loose examples of news, with companies like Facebook and Twitter coming under fire for incorrect and often detrimental posts. There is a lot to unpack and in this discussion Elizabeth Chuck helps me break down what reporting is, the work journalists go through, and why it is so important to understand where your news is coming from.
