Episode 5
Join us as Mercy Quay, founder and CEO of Connecticut's only anti-racist public relations agency, The Narrative Project, guides us through the complex world of news consumption and media literacy. With over a decade of experience as both a journalist and communications strategist, Quay examines how framing, bias, and sensationalism shape our understanding of current events.
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the critical distinction between sensation and thinking in our modern media landscape, drawing inspiration from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and its warnings about information manipulation and societal control.
