Fall of Newspapers, Rise of Misinformation

From 2013, Morley Safer's report on the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper's transition to a three-day-a-week publishing schedule in response to competition from the internet. From 2022, Jon Wertheim's report on local newsrooms being gutted by financial firms. From 2021, Scott Pelley's interview with a Facebook whistleblower who said the social media giant was misleading the public on progress against hate speech, violence and misinformation. And from March of this year, Lesley Stahl's report on efforts to combat the spread of misleading information on social media.
