Ep 3: Water, Spaghetti, and InfoGraphics: An interview with Rebecca Adelman

Episode Summary

As central as media systems are to nearly every aspect of our lives, asking people to stop and think about them critically can be like asking fish to stop and reflect on water. In this episode, our interview with Rebecca Adelman, Chair and Professor of Media and Communication Studies, explores our relationship with media, the questions raised by an infamous diagram that looks like a plate of spaghetti, the data visualizations of ISIS, and whether certain things simply should not be visualized. Assistant Producer and graduate student, Anna Kroll gives her "digital native" take on the subject.
