We Need Games Media (ft. Ashley Schofield)

from Pixel Spectrum Hosted by Derek Van Dyke

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Pixel Spectrum! We're joined today by writer, critic, and journalist Ashley Schofield to talk about the ways games media is failing its professionals top-to-bottom, and how that's bad for everyone. With layoffs and lack of opportunities becoming the norm, it rapidly leaves behind a space where only the most well-established have any security, and the void ends up filled by content creator types (well-intentioned or otherwise). You can follow Ashley on bluesky at ashlikeadragon.bsky.social. You can preorder her upcoming book "VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works" today from publisher Lost In Cult before its launch later this year.
