Democracy Without Journalism? — Victor Pickard
Mickey’s guest for the full hour is media scholar Victor Pickard of the University of Pennsylvania.
They discuss Pickard’s latest book, “Democracy Without Journalism?” Pickard describes the dimensions of recent years’ precipitous drop in the employment of reporters, and its likely consequences for society.
