We’ll start off with a quote from our friends at Wikipedia:
"Truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on
the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard
to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts."
Today we are joined by Dr Sharon Mascall-Dare, Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of South Australia and by multi-award-winning journalist Peter Warren, to answer some big questions:
Do our audiences fact check, or is there not enough time? Can the reporters cut through the guff? In today’s age where reporting the news is now in the hands of fewer and fewer media mega corporations, how do we get to the truth of the matter?

This episode's musical interlude: Mum Thinks Blue with Gotten Away
