Media-Savvy Focus
Media today is a constant presence in our lives. The average American spends over 12 hours a day consuming media, whether through television, social media, or digital platforms. With over 85% of U.S. adults owning a smartphone, we are connected to media nearly 24/7, receiving a continuous stream of information that shapes how we think, work, and live. FMC Fast Chat helps listeners make sense of this overwhelming flood of content by offering conversations that explore the forces driving media today—and how to find trust and credibility in an often noisy, chaotic media landscape.
Only FMC Fast Chat, the podcast of one of the country’s oldest, most successful media watchdogs, takes you inside the oldest newsrooms in the U.S. with a special series to explore the state of local news. From the New Hampshire Gazette, with claims to America’s oldest newspaper, to Alaska’s Nome Nugget, this podcast series discusses their historical legacies and how they’re adapting to the digital era.
But that’s not all. We also explore cutting-edge technologies like AI and deepfakes with innovators such as Hao Li, to help you understand how these tools are reshaping everything from journalism to entertainment.
