In the early years of the Cold War, American journalism helped construct a world defined by enemies, uncertainty, and invisible threats. That framework didn’t disappear; it became embedded in how news is produced, interpreted, and trusted. In this episode of News Over Noise, Matt Jordan and Cory Barker talk with Barbie Zelizer about her book How the Cold War Broke the News and the enduring influence of Cold War logic on contemporary journalism. Drawing on decades of research, Zelizer examines how ideas like objectivity, balance, and access were shaped in a moment of geopolitical tension and how those same assumptions continue to structure coverage today. -
Misinformation is often described as something that’s created and then spread, but increasingly, it’s shaped in real time through participation. In this episode of News Over Noise, Matt Jordan and Cory Barker talk with Kate Starbird about participatory disinformation and how online audiences help produce, remix, and amplify information as it moves, blurring the line between observer and actor. Drawing on her research, Starbird examines how these dynamics play out across politics, crises, and everyday online life, and what they reveal about the growing challenge of building a shared reality in a platform-driven media environment.THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT CONTENT -
