Insider Blows Lid Off Media Collapse Under Trump
Summary
Ken Harbaugh welcomes Scott MacFarlane — a 25-year veteran of legacy media who walked away from CBS to join MeidasTouch — to discuss the collapse of institutional journalism, what's driving serious reporters out of the newsrooms they built their careers in, and what independent media can offer that legacy outlets no longer can.
