Special Edition: Are We Losing Shared Culture?

from The NewsWorthy

Are we losing the shared media culture that once gave Americans something easy to talk about? Media scholar Amanda Lotz explains how we moved from a world of mass hits and watercooler moments to one of personalized feeds and "media diets" — where even people in the same house may be watching, hearing, and reading completely different things. We talk about what's been lost, what's been gained, and what this new media world means for the way we connect, discover, and understand each other.   Learn more about our guest(s): https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Join us again for our 15-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Get 15% off OneSkin with the code NEWSWORTHY at www.oneskin.co/NEWSWORTHY #oneskinpod Upgrade your everyday.
