The Role of Journalism in a Post-Truth Age — with Abigail Pogrebin

Identity/Crisis

Show Notes

With the marketplace of ideas outpacing our ability to discern truth, who still cares about keeping up with journalistic standards?

In this episode of Identity/Crisis, Yehuda Kurtzer sits down with journalist Abigail Pogrebin to explore how media, authority, and public conversation are changing as traditional standards of journalism dissolve and algorithms shape what we see and believe. They turn to the Jewish community to examine how these shifts are intensifying polarization and defining who gets to speak—and who gets heard. Together, they consider what responsibility these changing standards places on those who shape public conversation to hold complexity without collapsing it.
