S01E19 • Social Media’s News Takeover
This episode, inspired by The New News Feed: Social Media’s News Takeover, explores how social platforms have fundamentally transformed news consumption. It highlights that TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, X, and others now rival traditional TV and news websites — blending entertainment, personalization, and real-time updates into our feeds.
The episode delves into the influential role of creators as modern news anchors, the algorithm-driven economics shaping what goes viral, and the rise of snackable news formats — from 15-second TikToks to live streams. It also examines generational divides in news habits and the challenges these changes pose for trust, misinformation, and depth.
In essence, the show argues that while social media has made news faster, more engaging, and tailored to individual tastes, it also complicates how we build trust and understand complex stories — making it essential for today’s listeners to stay informed in meaningful ways.
