EP 42: How The Race To Go Viral Impacted The News with Ben Smith
In this episode, we explore the recent history of the news media, the impact of Facebook and Twitter with longtime journalist and media entrepreneur, Ben Smith.
In his new book, Traffic, he effectively writes the history of 21st century media, exploring the rise and fall of digital news media innovators like Gawker, HuffPost, Breitbart and Buzzfeed.
Mosheh and Ben discuss why the pursuit of “going viral” led digital media astray (Vice and Buzzfeed News recently collapsed) and its overall impact on American politics.
