About this listen

The average American's worldview is under constant assault from propaganda. Between the 5,000 advertisements we see daily, for profit journalism, and virtually every post on social media, the gulf between reality and the myths we are surrounded by has never been wider. And with the widespread adoption of algorithms guiding this entire process, we are in desperate need of a new set of skills to navigate the landscape.

This set of skills is widely referred to as media literacy—a concept that extends literacy beyond the ability to read and write, into the ability to understand how and why messages work across different forms of media.

Joining us is special guest Renee Hobbs, media literacy scholar, educator, and founder of the Media Education Lab.

Welcome to DoubleThink, conversations inspired by This Is Propaganda. If you haven’t yet, check out the Webby Award–winning first season.
