Document Summary

Pass quiz review = monday 6-7:30 101 paterson hall. News used to be consumed 3x a day (morning, before dinner, then evening before bed) Used to be seeing news that was given to you, a news session. Now a connection session, no relationship with a brand, connecting to many different things. News has been atomized, broken out from brand and put into one story at a time. Atomization = critical precondition of creating fake news. War: takes sides, stronger language, less dispassion, not as neutral, etc. call it as you see it. Work: adhere to some core principles but execute them differently, some things change while others are fundamental. Do old principles of journalism still apply or are they out of date: journalism"s first obligation = to the truth. Practical truth built on but going beyond just factual accuracy. The how has changed but the need hasn"t.
