Journalist Franklin Foer was ousted as the head of The New Republic when a Facebook co-founder bought the magazine and shifted the focus away from long form journalism. Foer says this is just one of many changes that signal a seismic shift to a media focused on “clickbait” and web traffic. In his new book, “World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech,” Foer digs into the ripple effects of technology on media and journalism. He also explores how Apple, Facebook, and Google spur online addictions, and says the companies' focus on global networks push us away from individuality and our ability for deep thought and contemplation.
