The Attention Merchants

from Signal & Noise · host Podcaster

While everyone debates what's in the news, few question who decides what becomes news in the first place. We examine how the fundamental economics of attention have quietly reshaped not just media, but democracy itself—and why the stories dominating your feed might be the least important ones happening.
