The Media Mirage

Explore the rapidly changing landscape of American news media to better understand the cultural and political upheavals shaping our world. Using The Siren’s Call: How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource, by MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, along with works by other contemporary thought leaders, we’ll trace the explosion of information and the destabilizing distractions we face while trying to make sense of it all. Gain tools to cut through the noise and think critically about the media you consume.
