Politics in Practice: How can you have a healthy media diet?

How can we have a healthy media diet in this polarized media climate? In this installment of our Politics in Practice video series, Alison Dagnes, Professor of Political Science at Shippensburg University, compares media consumption to food consumption. In the same way we can’t live off junk food, Professor Dagnes argues that we also cannot live off opinion and judgement alone. Our media consumption must first start off with a healthy portion of fact. Only then can we truly have a healthy media diet.
