What if the news you consume is shaping your worldview more than reality itself?

In this raw Unbarred Conversations episode, Cam Welsh sits down with Lisa Sygutek — owner of the Crowsnest Pass Herald and President of the Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association — for an honest talk about media bias, social media distortion, and why critical thinking matters more than ever.

Lisa shares:

• Her eye-opening experience in Spain, where social media painted a dire picture that didn’t match reality
• Why traditional community newspapers still matter as a check on democracy
• How polarization and algorithms are dumbing down society and killing constructive debate
• The difference between local journalism (where you have to face your readers) and national/regional media
• Lessons for business students and young professionals on questioning sources and building real critical thinking skills

If you’re tired of echo chambers and want honest, no-fluff feedback on communication, adaptability, and critical thinking in the age of AI and social media, this conversation delivers.
