The Mainstream Media Can't Pay Its Bills - Why Is Justin Trudeau Bailing It Out?
from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview
In the past, media would pay for itself with ads and classifieds. Then - the internet arrived and an entire generation of people have grown accustomed to getting their news for free. Is it the taxpayer’s fault that these media outlets didn’t adapt quickly enough, and now would be bankrupt but for Government bailouts? Or, do companies like Google or Facebook - that help these outlets share their stories - bear some of the responsibility for this downturn? Stephanie Smyth is a well known journalist - and she joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
