What is the role of the Fourth Estate? Can we depend on the media for trusted information? Can Twitter, videos, and rallies circumvent credible media? Is a viable, stable democracy possible without mass communication, television, newspapers, radio, and the internet as reliable information sources? Does the public care if a story is real or not? Do facts matter in a democracy? How do we know fact from fiction? These issues and more will be discussed in this lively and very serious program.
