The Digital Void Podcast Are Creators and Platforms Ready for the Decline of Journalism Jobs?
How will creators and tech companies grapple with the decline of journalism?
On this week's episode, Jamie and Josh discuss the relationship between creators, platforms, and journalists, the ongoing shift from legacy news sources to platforms like TikTok and YouTube for news consumption, and how venture-backed outlets built on the promise of digital advertising contributed to journalism's current crisis. Additionally, they highlight what gives them hope about journalism's future – and how you can help contribute to it.
