When was the last time you purchased a newspaper? I mean a legit walk-up-to-the-news-stand-plunk-your-money-down-and-get-the-paper experience. I bet it's been a minute. And that's precisely why my guest, veteran New York Times journalist Nick Madigan, is the perfect person to join FLIP IT ON ITS HEAD to discuss the state of newspapers in the age of the internet. Nick's 45 year career, primarily with the Times as well as stints with the Palm Beach Post and the Baltimore Sun and others gives him the kind of perspective that will help us all look at how we consume news. With the advent of click bait, pay walls, Twitter and Tik Tok, newspapers continue to be the most important source of vital information we all need to process this moment in our history.
