About this episode:

Critical consumerism is the idea that we, as consumers of information, should examine the information presented to us to determine its factuality and think critically about the implications of this information. As Web 2.0 has created a space where all users can be content creators, producers, and contributors, critical consumption has become increasingly important. People have the ability to manipulate facts to support false claims with virtually no accountability. In this episode, we explore the ways to become more critical consumers of information, and how to educate others as to how to do the same.
