How the 24-Hour Content Cycle and Social Media Threaten Democracy | Ray Marcano | TEDxDayton
Journalist Ray Marcano argues that the greatest threats to our democracy are the 24 hour content cycle and social media. Ray Marcano has more than thirty-five years of journalism experience as a reporter, executive, and leader at newspapers in New York, Oklahoma, and Dayton, Ohio. He has vast digital media experience and finished his media career as senior director of audience growth for Cox Media Group, where he oversaw the company’s national content desk. He now runs his own consulting firm, which focuses on digital media, writing, and editing. He’s the former national president of the Society of Professional Journalists, the nation’s most prestigious journalism association, a two-time Pulitzer juror, and a Fulbright fellow. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I can hear Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday saying "just the facts ma'am". But then, I hear Jack Nicholson's character in A Few Good Men " you can't handle the truth. Thank you Professor Marcano for the true facts on the subliminal chaos and confusion that social media brings to our lives.
"while everybody is entitled to their own opinion, nobody is entitled to their own facts" Brilliant words to end this topic with .
Great video. He points out a very critical solution to inadvertent media effects: content scrutiny. This is a part of the media literacy solution that proposes that becoming more aware of your media consumption -- beyond scrutiny-- will help prevent "tribalism" or at least minimize its occurrence in democratic societies.
wow great knowledge keep it up everyone..
helped me so much through my oral exam
thank GOD for Ray Marcano....
He’s a great speaker
Thank you! Important truths. Make sure to get the facts - have the proof.
Holy smokes can this man speak. Public speaking goals right here.
Most of these comments have nothing to do with the video...

I'd like to know what the other 31% constitute, if they had no opinion or if they actively distrusted the media, or a mixture of both, or anything else.
He sort of sounds like Obama.

Your democracy hasn't the most stable function but I think you still over act, when newspapers were invented they had as awful content. US American media has historically often been overboard.

Do we live in a “democracy”? I thought Princeton published in 2014 that the United States is not a democracy-but an oligarchy. (If not an “oiligarchy”.....)

doog yog : Because regardless of whether or not the United States is a constitutional republic, which it is-that, in and of itself-does not detract from Princeton University’s assessment in 2014 that proves the USA is an oligarchy (Not a “democracy”).
I'm sorry, I'm not understand he spoke to the words

They're portrayed as but is by people who don't like it, but that's not true. Snopes have said a lot of things against people who they supposedly support. It's supposed to be just about what the facts are. Weather people don't like their fax or not, it's different. Some people want a conclusive answer, which Snopes can't give. There's different Maybe or I have true or not completely true, so it's pretty down pat.
Waste of time ... things we already know are nothing but strechedin this video with almost dream come true solns
Good talk but advocating for people to be purposeful and how they behave is not a sustainable strategy and research does back this up. Instead it's worth itions if we can get better social engineering. I'm going to leave it that vague just cuz I want to go to detail I hope you guys understand haha
