Exploring the Role of Advertising in Media and Introducing a Sponsor

In our first episode, Ben and Nayeema catch New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman outside the courthouse where a jury just convicted former President Donald Trump. But will the media circus change anyone’s mind? 

Then they sit down with Vivek Ramaswamy to talk about his plans for BuzzFeed, following his purchase of 8.4% of the company. 

Finally, Semafor Media Editor Max Tani joins the show to discuss media blindspots and defend phones at bedtime.
