The Media Club with Matt Deegan Are Journalists Now Influencers Too?
An online spat reveals a new truth about modern journalism. Alex Hudson, Editor-in-chief of Everything Popular is Wrong, takes a trip into Substack to investigate.
Also on the pod: Lachlan Murdoch wins the succession battle. TV critic and media writer Scott Bryan tells us who are the real winners and losers.
All that plus: why are streamers so reluctant to fund an antibullying body? The Observer staff face up to their new reality... and, in the Media Quiz, our guests take part in a branding exercise.
The Media Quiz is sponsored by Audio Network who select the music to score each episode - they can do it for you too at audionetwork.com
