CHAPTER

Shift in Media Paradigm and Impact on Freedom of Expression

The chapter explores the shift in media paradigm from top-down to bottom-up, criticizing mainstream media in Europe and America for censorship attempts during COVID and discussing the importance of free speech. It delves into the emergence of podcasting, diversity of opinions, challenges in decentralized communication, and the rise of 'elite' podcast hosts. The conversation also reflects on censorship, coercion, the decline in journalistic standards, and the impact of podcasting and YouTube in promoting competition of ideas and critical thinking in the digital age.
