    Ep. 35: On Local News, with Jason Pramas, Corinne Colbert, and Brian Zayatz
    Dec 11 2024
    This week, our guests let us in on an open secret in the journalism world: nobody knows how to fund local news anymore. With the traditional pillars that supported local information ecosystems eroding and eventually collapsing over the last few decades, recent years have seen experimentation with all kinds of economic models, including the nonprofit.

    In this episode, Shelby Lee and Dusty Christensen are joined by three guests fighting to save local news: Jason Pramas, executive director of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism; Corinne Colbert, editor-in-chief of the Athens County Independent in Ohio; and Brian Zayatz, managing editor of The Shoestring. Together, the group discusses discuss the crisis in local news, how to duct tape together an information ecosystem, and some of the organizing we've done together to advocate for reforms that would support stronger local news for everyone.

    Produced by Dusty Christensen. Music by An Archaeologist.

    Ep. 34: Election Post-Mortem with Dan Cannity and Jeff Napolitano
    Nov 23 2024
    In this week's episode of Trippin' on The Shoestring, host Shelby Lee is joined by guests, and impromptu political correspondents, Dan Cannity and Jeff Napolitano to discuss the dumpster fire that was the 2024 U.S. national election. Recorded the day after the election, we discuss the trends we could see from the results and what this means for the future of the political parties and control of the government.

    Dan Cannity is a returning voice on the podcast, a former co-chair of the Northampton Policing Review Commission and a regular presence in Northampton as a community advocate. Jeff Napolitano, also a returning guest and local political analyst, is a longtime western Massachusetts activist who has the distinct honor of being blocked by U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern on social media.
