The book deals with tough questions about who we are as individuals and a society, reminding us that we all help shape our surroundings by what we pay attention to, how we understand and process the information we ingest, and perhaps most importantly, what we do with it. Tobias joins Derek for an in-depth conversation about the history of news and the future of media literacy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
