Question Everything! Reading the News with a Critical Eye

So, Who CAN We Trust?

"Even typically reliable sources, whether mainstream or alternative, corporate or nonprofit, rely on particular media frames to report stories and select stories based on different notions of newsworthiness.
The best thing to do in our contemporary media environment is to read/watch/listen widely and often, and to be critical of the sources we share and engage with on social media."

--Melissa Zimdars, Associate Professor of Communication and Media, Merrimack College
