Dan Gillmor is an internationally recognized leader in new media and digital media literacy. He's the author of Mediactive, which explores media literacy in the digital age from a journalist’s perspective. He launched The News Co/Lab in 2017, where their mission is to help ensure an informed citizenry – a fundamental building block of democracy.

I really enjoyed this thoughtful conversation as we explored the role of journalists within communities, the key challenges with moderation and why media literacy shouldn’t stop after we finish school.
