Comedy Is the New Journalism: The Power of Satire
Satire = making fun of something to expose its truth. This workshop explores one central question: How effective is broadcast satire (TV, online video and podcast) at communicating the news?
Let's survey the starburst of modern comedy-news programming. And ask, are we in the golden age of comedy news? Who is breaking new ground as a journalist-comedian?
