Beyond Politics

Media is Caving In. Is There Hope For a Turnaround Now?


Listen Later

In all kinds of subtle, hidden ways, legacy media have been warping their coverage out of fear of President Donald Trump. One of America's foremost media analysts, former Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun TImes Editor Mark Jacob, joins host Matt Robison (worthknowing.substack.com) to explain why he canceled his Washington Post subscription (but not yet the New York Times), how to tell if your media is worth subscribing to and paying for, and what else the media companies are doing that's changing the news we get. They delve into the modern media landscape, the struggle for authentic journalism, and the necessity for innovation in delivering trustworthy news. They also touch upon the changing news consumption habits of younger generations and the critical role of credibility and transparency in journalism.
