CAPTivated Podcast: What's Wrong With Our Media?
Join political scientist Hanna Sistek, media historian Sage Goodwin, and communication scholar Julius Freeman at the Center for American Political History, Media, and Technology as they dig into two big questions: What's wrong with our information environment? And what can we do to make it right?
From disinformation and polarization to algorithmic news feeds and attention traps, we explore the forces reshaping how we understand the world and each other. We pick the brains of researchers, journalists, technologists, and other experts to unpack the major problems with our digital public sphere today, how we got here, and what we should do about it.
Along with their insights guests share their own "media diets," the good, the guilty, and how they hit reset when the noise becomes too much. Join us to cut through the chaos, find signal, and rethink how we engage with the media that shapes our lives.
