29 - The Democratization of Media in America with Tim Pollard

This week, I'm joined by Tim Pollard, a former dean of media with Ball State University. We talk about how news and media has evolved in across his 2 careers, how filters have been removed (or changed) on what we see on the news, and how to avoid bias and echo chambers in your news.
