VOGUE | The Power of Media
"Media today is consumed primarily through social media channels, and recently news have often been criticized for being “fake news,” one-sided, out-of-context, or content-farmed. In response to those trends, Angie says, “I keep asking myself what I can do to change this and to help the public regain their trust in the media. I believe technology can help us rebuild that mutual trust.”
