The Open Question March 25: The Bachelor got cancelled... what does it say about us?
New to media literacy
Today at 2pm.
Some context here; here are some places for us to start:
- How should we form beliefs about something like this? What sources do you actually trust, and why? When you see a headline like "Bachelor cancelled due to child abuse allegations," what's your process (do you have one) for moving from headline to belief?
- Should networks be making moral judgments about their talent, or just legal ones? There's cancellation, but what about the choice to hire Taylor Frankie Paul in the first place?
- Do you trust the reporting on this? Which outlet, and why that one?
- What does it look like to handle a story like this well, as a society?
