#10 News: what it is? how do you get it? why should we care?

How do you get informed? The way we receive “the news” has evolved over the last century, and technology has played a large roll in that evolution. Just 30 years ago, most people were informed by newspapers and the broadcast news. Today, we have a seemingly endless supply of sources to deliver us news: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Podcasts, Radio, TV… the list goes on and on. In our latest show, Scott and I talk about this evolution and specifically how technology alters our experience. Hope you enjoy!
