The average American consumes 11 hours a day of electronic mass media! Learning to analyze media messages regardless of who sends them is a 21st century survival skill (in Missouri they're considering adding it to the school curriculum). What the Media ?!!? will explore topics like "How to spot a bot" and "why memes work". We speak with local Media Literacy professors and authors as our experts in addition to the anchors and reporters in our newsroom. A good comparison is a food critic - they look at how the food is prepared, who the chef is, how the food is presented, the texture etc. We will do the same for Media!

Byline AI

Julie Smith Rocks!
Amazing. Just give it a listen, you won’t be sorry.
Listen to the episode about Rush
It’s amazing that you won’t concede the media is biased toward the left. Lol.
Also the reason a liberal show won’t play is because all they do is bash the country. Who wants to listen to that?
