On this episode I was joined by Shania Lao, Staff writer for The Guilfordian and Cheryl Hatch, Assistant Professor of English. We discussed the #MeToo Watershed phenomena from the perspective of both social media and journalistic impact. 

Staying true to our commitment to focusing on current events, we discussed the influence of the #MeToo on yesterday's election in Alabama of Democratic Senatorial Candidate, Doug Jones (against Roy Moore, accused sexual predator).  We further defined "fake news" journalism, social media and the blurring of these concepts that has led to the common use of the term "fake news" in areas like Alabama.

We described some of the most current articles within the #MeToo/Silence Breakers watershed moment, and analyzed why humans have been silent for so long. I pointed out the realities that still linger for those who do not have the power or financial security to talk about what they have been through. 

We established that this watershed moment is continuing to both grow and evolve and we may be just beginning to define its impact.
