Marketplace Weekend for Friday, October 24, 2014
This weekend, Lizzie O'Leary talks with Marketplace's Tracey Samuelson about how Liberian communities in the U.S. are coping with Ebola back home. Then, here in the US, big media companies are struggling to adapt to the internet as more people rely on smartphones to get the news. The BBC's Will Ross explains that it's even more pronounced in Africa, where internet use on mobile phones is set to increase twenty times over the next five years. Ben Walsh from the Huffington Post and NY Mag's Jessica Pressler join us for brunch. Chris Black discusses tips from his book, "I Know You Think You Know it All: Advice to Help you stop Looking like a Jerk in Public and Online."
