The Daily Direct: The Tower Inferno

Crossing the Divide

The Tower Inferno examines the increasingly fast pace of modern society and its effects on the world of journalism with Rhema Zlaten, Assistant Professor of Mass Communications at Colorado Mesa University. Zlaten's research focuses specifically on philosophy and media ethics in light of the shift to digital news dissemination. Together we touch upon many factors pressuring newsrooms, including how social media influencer culture is forcing journalists to come out from behind the work they produce, igniting the walls of The Ivory Tower that once separated reporters from the readership they served.
