America’s Media Literacy Deficit: Navigating Elections and Generational Divides
Manage episode 429205871 series 2545259
Mickey's guest for the hour is media scholar Nolan Higdon. They discuss how the principles of critical media literacy could help the public make sense of the current, chaotic election season in the US, and also how the divide and contrasting worldviews between the older and younger generations can be partly explained by their choices of media. They discuss the consequences of the serious lack of media literacy education in the US and how the American electorate could benefit from learning media literacy skills as well as by diversifying their media diets to include more independent outlets and fewer corporate, establishment ones too busy cheering and jeering Team Red or Team Blue to report factually on the key policy issues that really matter to voters most.
