Somebody’s got to save journalism and University of Pennsylvania Professor Victor Pickard might be the person to do it!
Victor Pickard joins Domenic and Jenna to share his ideas on a new model of sustainable local journalism, as “the old model crumbles.” He also shares why we need to see local journalism as an essential part of a healthy community if the republic is going to survive.
And it all starts with one question, “What did you mean by, ‘Journalism and Capitalism was a match made in hell?’”
Professor Pickard, author of “Democracy Without Journalism: Confronting the Misinformation Society”
