Say Goodbye To The Information Age: It’s All About Reputation Now by Gloria Origgi
In an article from Fast Company, Gloria Origgi raises questions about how the circulation of information has changed in recent years and what questions individuals should consider regarding others’ news judgment. In this digital age, many people trust gatekeepers of information based on their reputation, which can change how closely each individual actually interacts with the news. In the “reputation age, in which information will have value only if it is already filtered, evaluated, and commented upon by others,” it is imperative that individuals think critically about where and with whom they place their trust.
