What challenges and opportunities do the media have in informing and unifying our society? How might citizens deal with issues such as the proliferation of news sources, difficulties identifying dis/misinformation, reduction in local news journalists and local newspapers, and pay walls for many news sources?
Moderator Melinda Beck was a longtime section editor and health columnist at The Wall Street Journal and a senior editor at Newsweek. She is now semi-retired, writing freelance articles and books.
James Brooke has been a foreign correspondent for the last 40 years, largely with the NYTimes in Africa, Brazil, Canada, and Japan/Korea. After the Times Jim reported from Moscow for eight years, then from Kyiv for six years. Last fall, he moved his family from Ukraine to his native Lenox, in the Berkshires.
M.G. Lord, a recovering cartoonist, is an associate professor at USC and the author of Forever Barbie, The Accidental Feminist, and Astro Turf, an informal cultural history of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). She is currently in pre-production on a 20-part podcast that tells JPL's bizarre origin story and deals with its place in the local aerospace ecosystem. It will debut in the fall.
John Tabor has been a local newspaper publisher in Portsmouth, NH, where he is now a second-term city councilor, re-elected with 63% of the vote in November. This has enabled him to see the rise of social media as a force in local politics, along with heightened partisanship and the loss of objective reporting.
