PNR 191: The Solution to Facebook's Fake News Problem

It's a miracle! In this episode of This Old Marketing, Joe and Robert actually arrive at a probable solution to Facebook's fake news problem. If only Mr. Zuckerberg were listening. In other news, the boys discuss research around artificial intelligence and marketing, and how everyone thinks they know but they really don't know. Rants and raves include agency changes and more AI. This week's TOM example: The US Postal Service.
