News Over Noise is a podcast and radio program about how media shapes what we know, what we believe, and how we understand the world around us. In each episode, hosts Matt Jordan and Cory Barker talk with journalists, researchers, and industry experts to examine the forces driving today’s information environment. The show explores how news is produced, distributed, and consumed, and what that means for public trust, democracy, and everyday life.

News Over Noise is produced by the Penn State Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications and WPSU. This program has been funded by the office of the Executive Vice President and Provost at Penn State and is part of the Penn State News Literacy Initiative.
