Media Landscape Story 1: "What are these people doing?!"
Local media is under assault, with ad revenues sucked up by Google and Facebook, and national chains buying up radio stations and local papers. Perhaps one of the biggest untold stories of the 90s is the rapid change of the media landscape. More than 1300 counties are now media deserts – with no local news. Vermont has not been immune and under some accounts, there are 100 fewer news reporters in the state than there were twenty years ago. In a series of podcasts, we tell Vermont’s evolving media story with one foot in the past and an eye to the future.Veteran radio journalist Bob Kinzel joins us for the first episode; “What are they doing??” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
