EP 145 - Make it Make Sense

Nobody trusts the media anymore.

Domenic and Jenna revisit their interview with Katherine Reynolds Lewis of the Institute of Independent Journalists to discuss the results of the journalism layoff survey. 8,300 journalists have been laid off since 2022, a nearly 10% loss of the labor force that makes the news. Dom and Jenna reflect on the survey findings and share their thoughts on the impact of these mass layoffs.

Then, a recent Gallup poll on declining trust in the media sparks an in-depth conversation with Joy Mayer, Executive Director of Trusting News, an organization that works to rebuild the lost trust and growing cynicism around journalism. Joy says because the public's information consumption habits have shifted quickly and radically, it’s on news outlets to adopt humility, transparency, and proactive efforts to earn trust. This includes addressing issues like ethical standards, the influence of social media platforms, and the responsible use of AI.

Bouncing Forward

Award-winning journalists Jenna Flanagan and Domenic Camia turn their layoff into a mission, taking a critical eye to American journalism.  
Why is an industry once considered profitable and trustworthy steadily cutting journalists and losing public support?  
Why has local news all but disappeared?  
Why has national media become so polarizing?  
And what does this mean for the future of American democracy?  

We’re not just laid off—we’re taking a hard look at what’s left of the journalism industry.  

New episodes drop every Friday at noon.
