From the rise of partisanship to the role of tech and media in shaping public opinion, the discussion touches on key questions: Can journalism save democracy? Should it be regulated? Plus, a look at dystopian parallels like 1984 and Brave New World, and what dangers might lie ahead in our increasingly digital world and how it will effect the future of gaming.
