Episode notes
Things are quickly shaping up in the media world, especially with the ever increasing influence of social media. The current dynamic is leading to narrative wars, where it is almost as if people are living in entirely different worlds. A major element of this is disinformation, amplified by the social media dynamic and an effective tool for centers of power. Other elements include the echo chamber effect on social media on hot topics such as Ukraine crisis, the pandemic, recent events in Iran etc. Host Zainabrights and guest Fatima El-Zein discuss what it means to be journalists in today's narrative wars and the backend obstacles journalists are faced with today on reporting truthful news stories.
