In a recent episode of the podcast “On the Media,” host Brooke Gladstone and her colleagues discussed the surprising election results and the future of journalism in the face of changing media landscapes. They acknowledged the disconnect between traditional media outlets and a significant portion of the American population, who seem to have lost faith in mainstream journalism. Despite the need for good reporting, the business model and trust in journalism seem to be falling apart.
This conversation highlights the challenges journalists are facing in reaching and engaging audiences in the digital age. With the rise of alternative sources of information, such as YouTube, TikTok, and podcasts, traditional journalism is facing competition from personalities who may not adhere to the same ethical standards or fact-checking practices.
The episode concluded with a call to embrace journalism as a community effort, with a focus on celebrating good reporting and engaging in dialogue with the audience. This sentiment reflects the importance of local news outlets, such as Seven Days and the Herald of Randolph, in fostering community connections and providing valuable information to readers.
As media continues to evolve, discussions like these are crucial in shaping the future of journalism and maintaining the integrity of the profession. It serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting local news sources and upholding the principles of truth and accountability in reporting.
