Breaking Down Propaganda: How Not to Be Taken For a Ride
Breaking Down Propaganda: Columbia Business and Journalism Professor, Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, joins the program to share her AREA method that she teaches business and journalism students, as well as professionals, on how to conduct meaningful research, how to form quality opinions based on facts, and how to make complex decisions in a volatile environment. In her own words:
"My process is called the AREA Method and I designed it initially as a research and decision making system to help me with my investigative journalism stories. I found it so useful for solving complex problems and managing for mental mistakes such as assumption, judgement and bias that I began teaching with it at Columbia University, first at the Graduate School of Journalism and more recently at Columbia Business School."
