Journalism has radically changed because of the internet, social media and big data. We have already seen conspiracy theories propagated through Facebook, new age therapies suggested to deal with the COVID crisis, and, of course, several sources of information that cannot be controlled by governments and have been the fuel of democracy movements. Our guest will be the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Dana Priest. Dana has been with the Washington Post for over 30 years and is now the Knight Chair in Public Affairs Journalism at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. Dana Priest has significant insights into how the digital transformation of journalism is already creating challenges and will continue to impact humanity in the future, not necessarily in a good way, unless we can find technical solutions and policies to manage it.
