On today’s episode, Rick sits down for a conversation with award-winning journalist, Carol Marin, whose career spans nearly 50 years as both a Chicago and national reporter and anchor for NBC, CBS and WTTW, and who now serves as the Director at the Center for Journalism Integrity and Excellence at DePaul University. They discuss a wide range of issues facing today’s news media practitioners, including how “menu journalism” and social media have blurred the lines of trust between the public, government and media--and how putting a renewed emphasis on civics education and news literacy at a young age can help restore critical thinking, trust and the pillars of democracy.
