Introducing The News from Scene on Radio

Pushkin. Hi listeners, you know that here on Revisionist History, we ask a lot of questions about the systems that have shaped our worldviews. While we're hard at work on our new season, we wanted to share another podcast that hits these points and asks big questions too. It's called Sinon Radio, and today I'm bringing you an episode from their aptly named news season, The News. Some have called the news media the oxygen of a functioning democracy, but if that's true, America's lungs are in rough shape.

Many Americans say they don't trust the media. The business model for local journalism has all but collapsed. And we all know about the barrage of misinformation that flows from our splintered media scape. You can't separate the state of our news media from the other profound crises that America keeps on failing to solve. Hosted by John Bewin, and now in its eighth season, the two time Peabody Award nominated show explores the roots of this crisis and asks, what's really wrong with the news?

It's an eight part series, So you'll want to check out the rest. But for now, here's episode one. Find Seaton Radio wherever you get podcasts. Money ultimately decides what gets built, what survives.
