So-called "fake news" continues to offer problems. Sometimes it's propaganda. Sometimes it's a hoax. Sometimes it's unsourced, bad information.
Public media has a vital role in helping the public sort through what is real and what is not. We discuss that role, how it's performed, and whether our guests think fake news is here to stay. Our guests:
- Michael Oreskes, senior vice president of news and editorial director for NPR
- Norm Silverstein, CEO of WXXI and award-winning journalist
- Neal Shapiro, president and CEO of WNET and former president of NBC News
