Episode Description
In today’s information environment, audiences still have to decide whether the voices they hear are credible. And they’re doing that in a media landscape very different from the one journalism once operated in.
In part two of this episode of Pull Quotes, Mark Henick looks at what happens after expert voices reach the public.
Molly Thomas, the host of Big If True on TVO, explains how social media and online platforms have reshaped the way people encounter information, and why younger audiences may be especially vulnerable to misinformation.
Carleton University journalism professor Duncan McCue describes the crushing deadlines that shape modern reporting, and how those pressures influence the sources journalists rely on.
And UK journalist Rob Waugh reveals how fake experts have slipped into mainstream media coverage, exposing vulnerabilities in the way newsrooms verify sources.
Together, these stories reveal how authority can be constructed: through familiarity, performance, and the systems that reward speed over scrutiny.
The question becomes not only who gets quoted, but who gets believed.
