LearnOutLoud.com Review

Hosted by news legend Bob Schieffer (Face the Nation) and H. Andrew Schwartz, About the News is a podcast that steps back to examine the current state of journalism. In a time of overwhelming news overload, SchiefferвЂ™s focus with this year-long project is to gather insight from some of the most important figures in the world of news-journalism, including influential figures from radio, TV, and the major newspapers. In each episode, he asks the same set of questions, what is the role of the mainstream media in the 21st century? Are we more informed now that we have more sources? How do we determine the truth in a time when вЂњfake newsвЂќ seems rampant? Schieffer lends his years of expertise to the subject, arriving at an important moment in history, to define his profession for a future generation.
