Join award winning 40-year veteran reporter Brian Karem as he takes a look at the problems in today's media. We turn the camera around and look at the good, the bad and the ugly parts in social and legacy media. We will give you the facts that enable you to think critically.
Brian speaks with former media reporter with The Washington Post - Paul Farhi about his latest article entitled "In News Deserts, Trump Won in a Landslide". Donald Trump won the 2024 election with one of the smallest popular-vote margins in U.S. history, but in news deserts – counties lacking a professional source of local news – it was an avalanche. Trump won 91% percent of these counties over his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, according to an analysis of voting data by Medill Journalism School’s State of Local News project.
