The press is a bedrock institution of American society and democracy, but in many corners of the country, the viability of local reporting is under question if not outright existential threat. To explore some of the causes, effects, and solutions to this problem, the Business Scholarship Podcast’s third annual symposium is focused on Local Journal, Business, and Society.
The symposium comprises three episodes broken into the following panels.
- Private Equity and Local Journalism
- Michael Ewens, California Institute of Technology
- RonNell Andersen Jones, University of Utah
- Steven Waldman, Report for America
- Workplaces and Local Journalism
- Sinja Leonelli, University of Chicago
- Aneesh Raghunandan, London School of Economics
- John Howard, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
- Corporate Misconduct and Local Journalism
- Gerardo Pérez Cavazos, University of California San Diego
- Karen Woody, Washington & Lee University
- Joseph Borg, Alabama Securities Commission
Panels are moderated by Andrew Jennings of Brooklyn Law School. They are available on major podcast apps, YouTube, and at andrewkjennings.com/localjournalism.
