XTRAordinary

In this episode of XTRAordinary, hosts Teague Egan and Spence engage in a compelling conversation with Mosheh Oinounou, the founder of Mo News. They delve into some of the most pressing issues in today's media landscape, starting with the Israel and Palestine conflict. Mosheh provides insights into the general state of the conflict and explores how the interconnectedness of the world through social media has transformed the way we access real-time information about wars. For the first time in human history, people can witness conflicts unfold in real-time, influencing global perspectives and attitudes.

The discussion then shifts to the growing distrust in mainstream media. Mosheh, drawing from his extensive career in journalism, examines the factors contributing to this erosion of trust, including the average age of mainstream media viewers and the challenges traditional news outlets face. He highlights the significant role Mo News plays as a social media news source, offering a younger audience timely and credible news updates.

Lastly, the conversation addresses the implications of the TikTok ban in the United States. Mosheh shares his views on the reasons behind the ban, its impact on free speech and digital privacy, and what it signifies for the future of social media regulation.

Join us for an insightful episode that tackles complex global issues and the evolving landscape of media through the lens of an experienced journalist and media innovator.
