The founders understood the importance of the press. So much so that they made sure to list it as a freedom protected even outside the regular freedom of speech. But the fourth estate is falling as trust in the news seems to be disappearing in the age of instant news. This week we have Megan Burns on to talk about Journalism and the current state of reporting in the United States. We dive into what questions you should ask when reading a story and how to determine a good source of reporting. We also talk about the COVID 19 vaccines and Megan shares her experience with the vaccine and her side effects.
