For our 5th episode, which feels like a milestone of some sort, we speak to journalists, editors and writers to try and understand the onslaught of fake news, the state of broadcast journalism today and the ethics of journalism at large and the complicity of social media and Big Tech in further polarising public discourse. This particular episode made us contend with a lot of harsh realities about this country's fourth estate and perhaps, our own blind spots. A slight digression from from our usual fare but it's hard not to speak about this given what some of our media stands for today.
