In the 1960s and ’70s, there were but a handful of ways Americans got information: the “Big 3” networks or the afternoon paper.
As the speed of news began to increase exponentially, the afternoon paper became the morning paper, and cable news was born. What was once a daily digest of news wrapping up during the dinner hour became a became an advance look at the day, and news available at your fingertips 24/7.
In the decades since then, there has been an explosion in the number of outlets through which people can get information. Almost anyone who has access to the Internet can create some sort of information outlet. That’s both a good thing, because of the diversity of opinion associated with a wide variety of outlets, but also a bad thing. How do people know what’s correct, and what might be erroneous?
John Roberts has been an eyewitness to this ever-expanding Multiverse of news and information. He can offer insights into where it’s going, the effect on daily lives and democracy and suggestions for what users should keep in mind.
