Catherine Happer has sought to use her understanding of the sociology of the media to explore the post-truth narrative ever since it emerged. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the role of journalism and academia in driving the narrative, the issue of public trust in the media, modes of media engagement, and much more.

Highlights

  • Public trust, journalism and the emergence of the post-truth story
  • Possible reasons for the uncritical adoption of the notion
  • Modes of media engagement, role of elites
  • Social media: past, present and future
  • Dangers of universalizing the US experience
