EP 42: How The Race To Go Viral Impacted The News with Ben Smith May 15, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we explore the recent history of the news media, the impact of Facebook and Twitter with longtime journalist and media entrepreneur, Ben Smith.

In his new book, Traffic, he effectively writes the history of 21st century media, exploring the rise and fall of digital news media innovators like Gawker, HuffPost, Breitbart and Buzzfeed.

Mosheh and Ben discuss why the pursuit of “going viral” led digital media astray (Vice and Buzzfeed News recently collapsed) and its overall impact on American politics.

EP 40: A Global Search for Meaning: Interview with Luke Russert May 08, 2023

Show notes

Former NBC News Correspondent and son of late Meet the Press Moderator Tim Russert, Luke Russert joins Mosheh to reflect on his time abroad following his fathers death and his new book “Look For Me There” inspired by his journey.

Russert immediately joined NBC at age 22 following his father’s 2008 death, only to realize a few years later that he had not fully mourned his dad and wasn’t sure what he actually wanted to do with his life.

In this conversation, we discuss his journey around Washington and then around the world as he navigated international politics and his own emotions and feelings of inadequacy.

Mosheh and Russert discuss the state of the media, politics and how travel can help give you perspective.

EP 38: Why Are Americans— Especially Teens— So Depressed, And What Can We Do About It? Mar 22, 2023

EP 37: Why The Mainstream Media Has Lost Our Trust Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Only one out of three Americans now trust the news media, putting the US in last place among developed countries according to a new poll. What went wrong, how bad has it gotten and what can be done to reestablish trust between the mainstream media and consumers?

Steve Krakauer has worked at multiple networks and is now an independent journalist. He joins Mosheh to discuss his new book, “Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People” in our latest episode.

We discuss a number of recent media struggles when it came to covering Trump, Covid, race and other topics and how that has further eroded trust. It all comes as the major media outlets have experienced business struggles–trying to maintain audiences and profits in the digital era—making all the issues worse. In this conversation, we also discuss some of our OWN experiences inside national news outlets that expose the bias and the deepening disconnect with the viewer.
