The Monday discussion with Brooke Gladstone was a very interesting talk, to say the least. Ms. Gladstone spoke on a lot of different topics that all came together and focused on a much larger message, “The media is a very misleading thing, based on how you perceive it, and its up to us to construe it the best way we can in order to successfully and efficiently retreat the information that is presented unto us.” All in all, A problem with media results in problems with us.
To go into more specifics of it, she blatantly says: “Don’t trust anonymous sources”. Her reasons to why are reasonable; for instance, she points out that most of those sites are full of “He say/she say” material or just a copy of an original news source. Therefore when it comes to those situations, she informed us to really pay attention to language.
That is one of the biggest things that stood out to me in that talk.
