Fake News & The Media Literacy Deficiency

Former Akron Beacon Journal Editor/VP & recently retired Professor, Jan Leach, joins the podcast to discuss fake news and our troubling lack of news media literacy. She and the hosts help decipher the differences in misinformation, disinformation, conspiracies, satire and the label of “fake news.” They cover the Conspiracy Theory Chart from @abbiesr and people choosing their own facts. Joe Maxx Coffee provides the caffeine and sugar to get through the topic, and Kitten the band brings the sweet tunes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
