With today’s world at war with the media, we tend to forget about the reporters caught in the crossfire. In this kick-off episode of The Stream, Owen and Micah speak with two former reporters about what life is actually like working in today’s digital-first climate, from the media power of a Chick-fil-A sandwich to reporters begging for Likes at the end of each month. They also speak with the head of the Journalism School at the University of Colorado Boulder for insight on the next chapter in the media’s story.
