Media Accountability and Public Trust

This chapter explores the shifting dynamics of journalism, arguing that media is increasingly protecting the powerful instead of holding them accountable. The discussion also touches on public skepticism towards health narratives, particularly regarding vaccines, and emphasizes the necessity for transparency in communication. Personal anecdotes about aging and unconventional school experiences are woven throughout, adding a humorous touch to the serious themes of truth and accountability.
