It’s your turn to talk. Every Thursday, we open up the phone lines for your questions and comments. Today, we’re discussing media literacy and consumption with Garrison Hayes and Ken Paulson.
At the state capital, Nashville has a good amount of local news coverage. We’ve also attracted national attention, including multiple conservative outlets and their personalities. So, with a myriad of choices and a never-ending supply of information, what news sources do you use to stay fully and accurately informed? Are you willing to pay for that information? And how do you tell the difference between news that’s been checked for accuracy and news that hasn’t?
