“Everything You Need to Know About Today’s ‘Cancel Culture'”

Robert Thompson, Trustee Professor of  Television, Radio and Film, was featured in a video on YouTube for Inside Edition, “Everything You Need to Know About Today’s ‘Cancel Culture’.” The term ‘cancel culture’ refers to people withdrawing support, or cancelling, public figures, celebrities or companies after they have done or said something in an offensive or extremely objectionable manner. In the news video Thompson comments on how cancel culture has grown in the past few years as more companies and people are attempting to act in ways that are more sensitive and conscientious than in the past when it comes to movies, television and more.
