A new Pew Research survey https://www.deseret.com/business/2025/07/07/americans-wont-pay-for-news/ says only 1% of people will pay for a news service that requires a payment up front.

Is this creating a news and information desert or are people finding other ways to get their “news”?

Kristin Brey and Steve Scaffidi take on the real question on this week’s edition of the You Need to Listen Podcast.

Are news consumers turning off legacy media and turning on to alternative news sources?

Brey and Scaffidi are the hosts of Point Taken, which airs 10-12, Monday to Friday on 620WTMJ.
