In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Selepak, media professor at the University of Florida, for an eye-opening conversation on the shifting landscape of media and its role in stoking public outrage. Selepak explains how the decline in trust toward traditional media stems from several factors, including the media’s shift toward engagement-driven content, the erosion of investigative journalism, the rise of filter bubbles, and an increasingly fragmented media ecosystem. Together, they examine the psychological effects of an endless stream of outrage-filled headlines and the risks of a blurred line between news and entertainment.
Selepak highlights the urgency of maintaining quality journalism and stresses the need for a comprehensive approach to address the challenges facing today’s media landscape. Tune in for insights into what’s driving today’s media mistrust and how we can counteract its polarizing effects.
