Description :
As a consumer of news, how do we acquire the discernment, intuition and wisdom to select what is good and true and reject what is false or fake? In an increasingly complex, multi-channel world, the web and social media has multiplied exponentially the voices and platforms that inform and influence our thinking and views on the people, places and events that impact our lives - from across the road to the other side of the world. What, and how much, can we trust? Is it neutral or seeking to persuade (reporting or creating news)? How does the medium, its format and characteristics, influence the message? Is it divisive or unifying? Where does God’s truth and character fit in in our assessment of the narrative? Is my own heart exercising bias or impartiality? These questions help us critically evaluate the cultural, political, or social context of a message. Above all, casting it in the light of God’s Word is crucial to our capacity to understand all news for its true worth.
