Description

Antigone Davis is the head of global safety at META, the company that owns Instagram and Facebook. Here we discuss new tools the company has just released to give teens with mental health challenges a more positive experience using the product. We discuss how the tools work, what problems they’re meant to remedy and what else the company can or should do to ensure their products are safe for children. News Not Noise delivers its news on Instagram, and its newsletter through the Bulletin writers program, which is also part of META. We know first hand the benefits of these platforms and their downsides as well; we have and will continue to report on these serious issues. Please take the time to listen to this conversation to learn more about how the tools are meant to work, the known and unknown harms to children and what can be done about them.

I’m Jessica Yellin, the founder of News Not Noise. For years, I worked in network news at ABC, MSNBC, and CNN, where I was the Chief White House Correspondent. I’ve reported from around the world and won awards.The more years I got under my belt as a reporter, the more I became convinced that the news doesn't speak to a large part of the audience.In the summer of 2018, I did something different. The midterm elections were approaching and friends asked me to explain what the heck was happening in the political cycle.So, I picked up my phone and began posting short, daily explainer videos on Instagram. What started with me and a ring light is now a small team, dedicated to giving you news in a different voice. We aim to provide facts, not panic attacks. We interview real experts — not pundits. My goal is to provide the understanding you need to engage in the conversation and take action in the world.
