Scenario

Imagine you are part of a community group trying to replace a local city council member. The council member is spreading misinformation about your group through the local media. This false information is causing distress among your members, and they are looking for solutions.

Your team knows you’re studying mass media and asks for your help. They want to understand the roles of traditional and social media in American news reporting, especially regarding the responsibility to share accurate information.
