So, a quick shout out to Maureen Judge, whose documentary film, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mymillenniallife.ca\/\">My Millenial Life<\/a>, won the Canadian Screen Award. Maureen is not only a talented film maker, but she also is Martin&#8217;s wife. And Martin enjoys basking in Maureen&#8217;s aura.<\/p>\n<h3>Instagram Hyperlapse telescopes event videos<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hyperlapse.instagram.com\">Hyperlapse<\/a>, a new Instagram app enables users to speed up videos up to 12 times the speed in which they were taken. This should prove to be a boon for people staging events who want to produce behind-the-scenes, preparing for the event, or other kinds of videos capturing a longer time span.<\/p>\n<h2>Struggling with fake news and bridging the perspective chasm<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be honest. Gini, Martin and Joe would all self-identify as progressive in our political perspective. And yes, we&#8217;re struggling with the challenge of fake news and the decline of traditional news organizations.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0story in the New York Times launched us into a discussion of the potential for social\u00a0revenue sources like Patreon to support a bubbling up of entrepreneurial niche and community-based news media. But that quickly morphed into a discussion of the continuing problem of replacing the mid-sized news organizations that are most in trouble. And from there we found ourselves again struggling to come to grips with the immediate manifestation of these changes in the news ecosystem &#8211; fake news.<\/p>\n<p>In our struggle with fake news, we move past the problem with social algorithms that lead to its\u00a0distribution and the measures being taken, finally, by Facebook and other platforms to deal with it.<br \/>\nSimply tagging something as fake doesn&#8217;t bring us any closer to why people would believe it in the first place. It doesn&#8217;t bring us any closer to understanding why people distrust traditional news organizations. We have to understand the lived experience and perspective of those who reject the relevance of the facts that are advanced. They may be facts. But are they relevant to what these people really want to talk about? We need to listen to one another, engaging in a dialogue to find understanding and common ground.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, it&#8217;s three liberals struggling with the challenge of fake news.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s\u00a0your turn.<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019d love to know what you think about the topics we discussed as well as your suggestions for questions you\u2019d like answered or topics for future shows.
