“It’s actually horrific. What passes for journalism is absolutely appalling in this country.” -- Michael Rosenblum, author of "Don't watch this: How the media are destroying your life."

You could call Michael Rosenblum Critic-In-Chief of the television news industry. He's an advocate of "citizen journalism," the idea that everyone can be their own journalist, especially at a time when there are more than 3 billion smartphones in circulation worldwide. Opponents of this idea argue that the world needs well-trained and experienced journalists to sort through online information overload, debunk conspiracy theories and hold government officials accountable. But as you’ll hear in this episode, Rosenblum couldn’t disagree more. He says those days are over and that citizens should take control of the media by creating their own stories.
