Summary

On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, I'm joined by V Spehar of UnderTheDeskNews on TikTok and across social media. V has made a huge name for themself as a citizen journalist on social media, giving daily reports on the news in easy to digest short videos. This week we are talking politics, traditional news coverage, and how changes in media have affected how people receive and consume the news. V talks about their journey from non profit work to social media reporter, and explains how their own life experience has affected how they deliver information. We discuss hot button topics in politics and news today, and talk about how where you get your news can influence on how you think. All this, plus I find out how V got started under their desk in the first place!

What's up, rich friends? Welcome back to another episode of Networks in Chill with me,

0:11.8

your host Vivian2, aka YerageBFF, and your favorite Wall Street girly. This week, we're

0:16.6

getting spicy, and we're going to talk about the news. And how to think really critically

0:21.7

about what we're reading, consuming, and viewing. Especially since millennials and

0:25.8

Gen Z are spending less and less time watching traditional TV, we're starting to get our

0:29.4

news in a lot of different ways. And I can't tell you the number of times when I've been

0:33.3

referring to a conversation with a friend, and I say, oh, I read that XYZ. When in reality,

0:38.8

I had just seen it on TikTok, and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone that's where I got my

0:43.4

information source from. While this has made staying up to date a lot easier, it does beg the

0:47.6

question, can we really trust everything we see on the internet? I'm personally very sceptical

VSPR. Hey, friend, how are you doing? I'm so glad to be here. Thank you so much for coming on

1:18.2

the pod. Absolutely. Always a joy to see you. Most of the time when I see you these days, it's in

1:24.2

DC. You are doing the damn thing, getting in that press room, so I'm incredibly proud of you,

1:30.2

and all of the incredible work you've done, and I'm just so glad we're chatting. Thank you,

1:34.9

me too. I know you said in the intro, started at the bottom, now we're here, and we are still on

1:38.6

the floor. The floor is still the safe space. I'm still a floor person, all my floor people unite.

1:45.0
