About this listen

 When businesses judge their achievements at the end of each year, they generally look at financial figures. But what about organizations that exist primarily to serve a crucial societal purpose? There, the metrics are usually different. They assess their impact. Not so for news agencies. Instead, big media look at audience figures and awards -- which say nothing about providing the truth. Today, Josh digs into this problem. He explains how new annual awards could hold the media to account, and how we can make them happen. Also, questions have been pouring in from supporters of the show following the last two episodes. Josh answers several, explains what’s true, and teaches you what to look for in a news story to be on guard against lies. Plus, what the media is leaving out of its coverage of a Trump fiasco at the CDC.
