indira: right.where you are showing the burning oil wells and you are interviewing people on the street and you have b-roll. putting six people in a "hollywood squares"-type set up and have them bloviate. they are oppositional and yelling at each other, they have strong opinions, but it is super cheap. you are sitting someone in a chair. this is in the same way that newspapers have to be better online about columns and editorials and saying this is opinion. when you're not finding it in an old-fashioned newspaper, it is hard to understand what is news and what is opinion. i've write a column for the "boston globe," sometimes people will complain saying this is so opinionated. i am a columnist. opinion is a feature, not a blog. that is what you have -- what you have got when you read a columnist. that is why my picture is on it. it is different than i am doing a new story. the columns need to be factually based. i would never write a column that was my ideas, it would have to be based on reporting. t

so proud of them and really appreciate your coming back and really appreciate indira's coming. the poynter institute's been doing some very exciting and interesting research on the subject we're going to talk about, and i think it's really fitting that we are here at the university that trains not only future journalists, but also future policymakers and future politicians, and you all are going to be determining a lot about the relationship between the media and the public and democracy. so, i think it's great we're here. as everybody here knows, this is a difficult time to be a journalist here and abroad. we have in president trump someone who has labeled all the media all fake news and even more ominously, the enemy of the people. a significant number of people agree with him, according to research that indira will talk about, and of the people who agree with him, many of those people are in favor of cushing press in ways that, frankly, were pretty shocking when i saw that statistic. we've got an internet which is spreading lots of conspiracy theories very quickly, as you al

we are with indira lakshmanan, -- we are at american university. thank you let's take more questions. >> i am a senior and a journalism major. i was wondering as we were talking about fake news and social media, what would you say or would you agree with more regulations on what journalists out there as validated news and if so, how can we do that without placing too much censorship on the media? >> i think that there has always been, you have to consider the source. this is a trusted source, the primary sources i think. and, we always have to know if you can trust where you are getting your information. i don't know how to elaborate on that. the source of information is always important. >> i do not interject what i find example with first amendment sasson more young people, more interested in censoring the press. what i would consider censoring the press. it may be coming out of terrorism were not 11. >> way climate they were raised in. we are the only fair source you can only believe us and that we have a president who says i'm the only fair aut

indira, what did you put? biggest one because my daughter is a doctor and every time, she said, i'm having to do this, i'm on call all the time and really stressed out and on top of that, she's had to do presentations and projects and there are so many cuts. how does this relate to brexit? brexit, i think like you said earlier, about national health, it's just not happening. we do need more staff and they are undercut, not paid enough so it affects all the nhs. i do worry about that. did anybody else put the nhs? belinda, what did you put? i put lack of knowledge. just the lack of information that is given to us about the consequences of leaving brexit and the amount of knowledge that's just given to us in dribs and drabs so we are only told what people want us to know. what did you put, lauren? closed borders. again, i can see both sides working for the nhs because i work with some fantastic nurses from eu countries, fantastic nurses and doctors and without them, being able to move freely, we wouldn't have th

indira: when i started the job last year, it was a new job and a new era.ou can focus on whatever aspect of journalism that seems to be the most in need of work and i thought in the aftermath of the 20 election, there was all this talk about misinformation and fake news. which is contra seal. donald trump as soon as he was president-elect did something very clever, extremely politically canny and early december of 2016. he seized upon the term fake news which was defined to mean false stories, anything from stories that were made up that -- about -- from macedonian teenagers who were making them up to get clicks to ominous and nefarious, to others who are trying to shape the outcome of our election by planting false news. it could be stories about pizza were no children sex slaves being kept in the basement for one reason, there was no basement. stories like that are stories like pop francis endorses donald trump, none of which were true. donald trump realized immediately after the election that when this conversation about misinformation came up, when it c

you seem to prices view is rejected by the local town indira council c.e.o. walter shaw if you remove aboriginal children from community you also shop in every community one could say that these children being placed in. the care and protection of welfare and the foster care runs with children being doctrine with values other than being a brutal people. of the aboriginal children in foster care forty percent are placed with no one indigenous family. his council wants to change this and keep children in their community. for organization is an imperative for think. we need to move to a system where we support families have a functional and strong aboriginal families to become those foster carers who have set up a family safety group but. they are talking sensitively around all forms of all of this community domestic you know talking about the the alcohol issue the drug issue . but for a sixteen year old sarah it's a case of too little too light she was born into a family plagued by drug and alcohol fuelled domestic violence. just so just well wildstar. sarah's

lleno de miedo llegÓ el paÁa de la niÑa indocumentada rosa marÍa hernÁndez a su primera cita con indiraional al ser cuestionada por agentes fronterizos cuando iba de urgencia a un hospital. >>> mÁs que nada por la niÑa, ella necesita tratamiento, terapia y en mÉxico no creo que me apoyen. >>> la niÑa ya tiene 11 aÑos y un proceso abierto luego de ser liberada de un centro de detenciÓn, se trata de un caso humanitario dice su abogado. >>> debiese el papa estar con la hija mientras estÁ en el evento, tiene dos hijos mÁs. >>> despuÉs de la audiencia la mamÁ de la niÑa vÍa telefÓnica nos expresÓ angustia y desesperaciÓn. >>> pues que nos nos deportan que nos dejen aquÍ para mejor futuro de la niÑa porque en realidad ella toda su vida ha estado aquÍ . >>> dice tener un recorte limpio desde que llegÓ a estados unidos hace mÁs de 10 aÑos pero hace cinco fue detenido por inm inmigraciÓn y apenas lo citaron . >>> la policÍa le hablo a migraciÓn . >>> el papÁ de rosa marÍa seg seguirÁ su proceso libertad y la prÓxima cita serÁ el 19 de junio donde la defensa tratarÁ de demostrar el sufrimiento ex

. - [indira] the seventies was an irregular high point, and i think that's because there was this realf like, afterglow effect that the press got from the coverage of vietnam, from watergate. - on the sixth floor of the building behind me, five men with electronic gear were caught in the offices of the democratic national committee. - i shall resign the presidency, effective at noon tomorrow. vice president ford will be sworn in as president at that hour, in this office. - as well the fact that we had limited news sources that were pretty uniform and were required by law, under fcc regulations, to give a balanced picture. what happened in the 1980's? ronald reagan deregulated, through the fcc. he deregulated communication channels, and the fairness act and everything sort of went out the window. - [computer] you've got mail. - [narrator] envisioned as a means of connecting people, social media was born in the late nineties. - the buzz early on was that social media would be a democratizing force. it would be a positive for, not just the united states, but for the globe.
