Eight months into the pandemic, we’re all addicted to refreshing our social-media feeds to see what else has gone terribly wrong. Journalist Karen K. Ho joins Norm from New York to explain why she’s spending her nights asking her followers to put down their phones and get some sleep.

The phenomenon known as doomscrolling, popularized on Twitter by writer Karen K. Ho, entered the cultural lexicon earlier this year. The concept is simple: One scrolls endlessly on their various social media feeds, absorbing the news of the day which, this year especially, has been disheartening at best and apocalyptic at worst.

While living with her parents, Jennifer Pan finished high school, graduated university with a degree in pharmacology and started working as a pharmacist. Except... she didn't. None of it was true. Jennifer had basically spent years hiding in cafes and libraries and making pretend notes so her parents would think she was working hard. And when they found out, the shit really hit the fan.

When the CBC tweeted out a series of news alerts following Brazil’s election of a far-right presidential candidate... people had a lot to say. The tweets flagged, “fresh opportunities for Canadian companies looking to invest in the resource-rich country” and noted President-elect Jair Bolsonaro’s free market and pro-business stance — but neglected to initially mention his sexism, homophobia, and open declaration of being in favor of a dictatorship.   The tweets went viral, with readers and journalists alike expressing outrage with the CBC’s framing, but some were surprised by the attention it drew, saying that analysis focused on investment opportunity was common and could be found in any mainstream business publication.  So, was this a misunderstanding of the role and audience of business news, or an example of irresponsible journalism?  Guest host Karen K. Ho explores how these ethical concerns are becoming a core component of many big stories, and what some reporters are doing to expand business journalism's audience and sources. Bloomberg’s Jordyn Holman who covers gender, race and class, and Bill Grueskin, former managing editor of the Wall Street Journal and professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, join Karen. — This episode is sponsored by Audible and HelloFresh.  Support CANADALAND: http://canadalandshow.com/join See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
