So the Mineral King Publishing marketing manager was working on a project for us and asked Reggie, Ryan and myself to have a conversation about editorial ethics on camera. And we had no idea what we were going to say, we were just happy to talk shop. And after a little while Sarah asked if I was interested in publishing our conversation and so I listened to the audio.
We talk about differences between news and journalism; the good and bad of for-profit and non-profit news outlets; how social media has turned everyone into a publisher; and how consumers of social media are misled and targeted for their attention.
Ultimately we end on how we can bring funding back to local journalism after decades of newsroom closures and journalists leaving the industry.
