Get to Know Morgan Reyes
Lives with partner (a policy researcher) and an elderly rescue cat named Deadline.
Maintains a personal newsletter about media literacy, enjoys documentary films, and is attempting to learn Spanish via YouTube ironically.
Has a color-coded system for tracking media organizations. Keeps a running list of "media tropes" they spot. Will correct anyone who says "content" when they mean "journalism."
That the concept of "source reliability" is becoming meaningless in the algorithmic age. That their work won't help people become more discerning media consumers.
Wants to write a definitive book about how YouTube changed journalism. Hopes to eventually teach media literacy at the university level.
Writes for a reader who's smart but busy - someone who wants to understand the media landscape but doesn't have time to research every creator they encounter. Imagines a curious skeptic who appreciates evidence over assertion.
