Is Fake News the End of the Fourth State?

from ZTR Radio · host ZTR Radio

Nowadays we seem to consume news not necessarily to be informed but to corroborate and strengthen our own prejudices. The reign of the Fourth State is under attack and not only from Donald Trump but -more insidiously- from fake news, the individualised bubble world of social media and the PR ethos that dominates much of what we read, see and hear from "official" news outlets. We live in the epigrammatic world of Twitter and personalised forms of truths. In a world ruled by information, we now have its dialectic opposite: misinformation. With Juan Toledo, Andre López Turner and the melodies of U2 and Fleetwood Mac
