When the Basics Break in Media, People Pay the Price

from Daily Detroit · host Jer Staes, Matt Friedman

I sit down with communications pro Matt Friedman to talk about what happens when the basic stuff in media breaks — from lettuce recalls and weather alerts to non-partisan, important voting information.  We get into algorithms, broken trust, and why it's harder than ever to get simple, accurate information. And that information is crucial for a stronger local Detroit community.  If you care about how you actually find out what matters, this one's worth a listen.
