Abstract
This article is an extract from the"Crisis of Journalism: How do we fix it?"—a session of NHK Bunken Forum held in March 2022.
The spread of mis/disinformation, intolerance to different opinions, and eroding of trust came as citizens gained the power to post and share information on a global scale. Three panellists from the worlds of media and academia discussed the challenges facing journalism. The audience participated in the virtual symposium by posting comments and questions—77 in total. This report will insert these interactions labelled as"reactions from the audience" to illustrate the exchanges between real and virtual space.
