This is an OK talk for its time. I'm also an ex newsroom journalist, and was lucky enough to work at some of the world's most reputable and famous titles, also for 10+ years. It was sad to have to switch careers but I could see where media was heading. People complain about "the media", but they get the poor quality media they deserve - by expecting their news for free. It takes talent, resources and skill to create quality news. If people don't want to pay to sustain that, you end up with the dross we have now. Rather than complain, subscribe to a media outlet.
This is a great talk... good summary of the issues with social media and how the "audience" contributes to spreading false information.
A former co-worker of mine spreading some truth here... Use care before you share, indeed!
Would love to see subtitles/captions added for those of that are deaf/Deaf. Thank you!
I will share(this) with care !
Great info. Too many people share "headlines" that give the wrong impression without even reading the entire story or seeing if it's true.
This is really cool stuff. I am a journalism student and I already see this playing out with the other students I hang around.
Thank you 🙏
Well there is no arguing that. bang on.
Yes
I learned so much hearing you talk - Brilliant! Glad to have met you!
Thank you for the information mam and thanks to tedx
Great message
how do you research or even understand if you hate it or not, if you never click on it? i think we need better solution to this paradox
The word “us” would’ve been better then using “you”
Very nice. I agree we're all part of the solution or the problem. Know the true facts and think before you share or comment. Most importantly if you can't be nice or respectful, better to stay silent
I think it's fine for high engagement to be a reward for fake news; the engagement shows us what ideas we wanna fight. MSNBC gets tons of engagement for their worst videos, and the comments sections are immeasurably valuable when that happens.
Good content and thoughts, thank you.
Great Job Girl! Proud of you!
