As AI and social media rewrite how stories are produced, verified, and shared, journalism and media education face an existential test.

Drawing on George Soros’s reflexivity and Robert Shiller’s narrative economics, we explore how viral beliefs influence everything from capital flows to voting patterns. In a world shaped more by tropes and emotions, not just data, how can a full-spectrum of leaders, from those in government to entrepreneurs, recognize, harness, and respond to stories that fuel action?
