Embark on a journey through the labyrinth of media literacy and critical thinking with me, Jennifer Furlong, as I dissect the anatomy of knowledge on the Communication TwentyFourSeven podcast. Brace yourself for a season where we strip down hot-button issues to their core, asking not just what you think, but how you formed those thoughts. With a commitment to objectivity, despite my conservative leanings, this season promises a tapestry of perspectives from a panel of dynamic voices including filmmakers, physicians, politicians, journalists, and computer science experts, each lending their unique lens to the conversation.
The essence of our dialogue will oscillate between the enlightening and the controversial, designed to ignite your curiosity and perhaps, challenge your comfort zones. As we navigate through discussions on emotional manipulation, misinformation, ethics, and political correctness with our expert guests, I'll be your guide in this quest for a well-informed electorate. Remember, it's not just about keeping you informed—it's about empowering you to question and comprehend the very fabric of the information you consume. Join us and be a part of the movement toward a more discerning and conscious society. Share, post, and review to amplify our collective voice in this intricate world of 24-7 communication.

Okay, scratch that.
No, not just an informedelectorate.
We actually need awell-informed electorate.
So how do we make sure that weare well-informed?
That's where the media literacyand critical thinking come in.
I don't care about which topicsyou think are the most important
.
It could be abortion, it couldbe Trump's indictments, it could
(03:32):
be Biden's cognitive decline,it could be immigration, drugs,
crime, war.
The list goes on and on and on.
All of these topics areimportant.
I'm not so much concerned aboutwhat you know about the topics.
I'm more concerned about howyou know what you know about
these topics.
So stay with me, don't get mewrong.
(03:55):
I do care about your opinions.
I absolutely do have an opinionabout all of these topics.
I am going to try to be asobjective as I can be.
Full disclosure, though andI've mentioned this before in
other episodes.
I am a conservative, so that isthe lens through which I look
(04:16):
at the world, but I do try tomitigate my own bias as best as
I can by having conversationswith guests who come from across
the political spectrum and whohave firsthand experience in the
areas of politicalcommunication, journalism and
media analysis.
That's incredibly important tome.
(04:38):
I'm going to talk aboutcritical thinking and media
literacy, and how do we knowwhat we know about things?
I'm going to challenge what youthink you know about certain
things.
I may even make you a littleuncomfortable.
I may even sometimes piss youoff.
That's okay.
I'm still super excited forseason four.
I have an amazing lineup.
(05:00):
This lineup includes filmmakers, physicians, politicians,
journalists, campaignstrategists, historians and
computer science experts.
That's just to name a few.
We are going to sharemeaningful, insightful and
sometimes robust conversationsabout communication, emotional
(05:21):
manipulation, misinformation anddisinformation, some ethics,
political correctness, politics,advocacy and so much more.
I hope that you get as much outof season four as I know that I
will.
Let's do this.
Thanks for listening.
