A Conversation with Paula Naufal

The LevantX Podcast

Journo Jargen! We currently eat, breathe and sleep media! Whether we are on Instagram, Facebook, Netflix or a news app we are the ultimate consumers of information. As the world changes we find ourselves consuming more and more and forgetting how to stop and analyze and think about what we are actually consuming. What's the downfall here? Well there are many, but the one we focused on today is the spreading and virality of FAKE NEWS. Who can we trust? How can we determine what the truth is and what isn't? These are the questions we need to start asking ourselves. Are we passively consuming information from the media, our friends social handles or our parents? How can we begin to educate ourselves so we are actually actively consuming content and using it to our benefit in order to problem solve and create a better world. Paula Naufal talks to us about her experience with Citizen Journalism, Digital Activism & credible journalistic content.
