Dr. Chandra Clark, Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama, has expertise in electronic news and analysis of the news ecosystem. We got together to discuss new normals in news: how audiences respond to coverage; how news outlets respond to audiences; and how we all respond to the quickened information flow that comes with social media and instant access. Though this interview was recorded a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of the globe… many of the issues and topics Chandra and I explored resonate with what’s happening today - in particular navigating an onslaught of information; trying to figure out what’s true and whom to trust; and how the way information flows reveals truths about who we are as people.
