Q&A: What's the difference between dead cats and real cats?
About this episode
Alan and Lionel respond to more listeners’ questions on this week’s Q&A.
In a world where the news never sleeps, the editors are asked whether news coverage is proactive or reactive.
They also discuss the importance of fact-checking, and whether or not young people are equipped with the tools to pick up on political bias across news platforms.
Plus, Alan explains what a “dead cat” is journalistic jargon for, and how listeners can identify one.
