Save Journalism Project co-founder John Stanton has a new podcast highlighting the news industry’s struggle to survive in the midst of big tech’s suffocating grip. The -30-: The End of the News has released two episodes to make the chaos of holiday travel a little less stressful.
In his first two episodes, Stanton is joined by the Save Journalism Project’s co-founder Laura Bassett and freelance writer and editor Nick Charles, who have personally witnessed the impacts of Google, Apple, and Facebook’s siege on newsrooms nationwide, along with his second episode’s guest Seth Bloom, a leading expert on antitrust, competition, and tech policy.
These episodes look into the existential crisis the news industry is facing and the harmful implications of big tech on the Fourth Estate. In his podcast, Stanton will interview journalists, experts, and leaders.

So they’re using a podcast to attack big tech? A podcast that will be available via Apple’s iTunes and Google Play? So they’re using big tech to attack big tech. No irony there. The fact is that the only thing the tech companies do is sell advertising on the various blogs and news sites created by others. Big tech companies don’t report the news. This group is demonizing the companies that are paying journalists. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but they’re creating more opportunities for journalists than previously available through TV and newspapers.
