E32: Citizen Voices: The Rise of Independent Journalism

CORRECTION: The Atlanta Journal/Constitution is still in print through DEC 2025. Host Edgar Mills explores citizen journalism and independent podcasts as modern expressions of free speech and libertarian values. He discusses the decline of traditional media, the rise of decentralized voices, issues of authenticity, credibility, and gatekeeping, and how independent creators empower communities with timely, unfiltered information. Mills shares personal experiences from the Great Create DIY Festival, reflects on media monetization, echo chambers, and expert credibility, and urges listeners to engage critically, support independent voices, and contribute to community causes.
