OTM examines how the media try to reachus on an emotional level. We explore at the New York Times' dive into virtual reality-inspired empathy (sensitivity to another's feelings as if they were one's own),and Europe's "compassion fatigue" with migration. Plus: why clickbait is king, the lucrative "hate read", and why the University of Missouri protesters' media-free zone is approximately more than press freedom,and more.
