About this program
See How the News Is Made
More news can leave us more anxious without bringing us closer to the truth. Yet looking away is no solution, and the right to know can still make the world better.
Across five themes and ten episodes, journalism scholar Fang Kecheng uses books on reporting, newsrooms, platforms, politics, and marketing to explain how news is produced and circulated. Understanding that process helps us judge evidence and make our own choices.
