Social media has fractured the media landscape, and our communities. How can we put them back together?
As editor-in-chief of Buzzfeed News and the media critic for the New York Times, Ben Smith had a front row seat to (and a significant role in) the social media-zation of news media. On this episode of “The Glue, with Eric Fingerhut,” Eric and Ben discuss what went wrong, how our fragmented media and social media landscapes pull communities apart and fuel hate, and what we can do about it. Guest Host Karen Elam, who heads the Levine Center to End Hate for the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester, brings her perspective on how to push back against these trends.
"The Glue, with Eric Fingerhut," is brought to you by Jewish Federations on North America, the backbone of the North American Jewish community, representing over 350 communities across North America. Find out how you can get involved or donate to your local Federation at www.jewishfederations.org.
