Jay Rosen
Professor of Journalism, New York University
The “troubled” relationship media and big tech have with democracy
Professor Jay Rosen has taught journalism at New York University since 1986. Widely regarded as a global authority on the relationship between media and politics, in 2003 he started PressThink, an influential thought-leadership platform which addresses the big-picture challenges faced by the media. In this in-depth interview, Jay argues the Trump administration still “casts a shadow” over US politics – stating “we live in a two-party system… one of the two is anti-democratic, and the other is not sure that’s a problem;” attacks Fox News for the “corrosive” role it plays in America – by “deliberately and cynically” provoking “rage or loyalty;” and condemns the “ungovernable” Facebook – which is now “a danger to democracy around the world.”
