Media Masters - Professor Jay Rosen
Show Notes

Professor Jay Rosen has taught journalism at New York University since 1986. Widely regarded as a global authority on the relationship between media and politics, in 2003 he started PressThink, an influential thought-leadership platform which addresses the big-picture challenges faced by the media. In this in-depth interview, Jay argues the Trump administration still “casts a shadow” over US politics - stating “we live in a two-party system… one of the two is anti-democratic, and the other is not sure that’s a problem;” attacks Fox News for the “corrosive” role it plays in America - by “deliberately and cynically” provoking “rage or loyalty;” and condemns the “ungovernable” Facebook - which is now “a danger to democracy around the world.”
