Peder Zane and RCI Senior Reporter James Varney speak with Patrick Steel, the former CEO of Politico who is now a Senior Advisor to Antenna Group, about the changing landscape of the media business. \n \nOn the news round-up, Zane and Varney discuss articles published by Reuters and the Washington Post that detail Iran’s confounding stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz as well as a piece in the Atlantic that raises questions about the US government’s official narrative regarding the deadly collision of two American refueling planes over Iraq. They also examine how two articles – the National Review’s analysis of the explosion in autism diagnoses and the City Journal’s report on the transplants driving Los Angeles’ homeless problems – illustrate how the wrong incentives can exacerbate social problems and social spending. \n\n00:00 Introduction and Overview of the Podcast\n08:21 Iran's Influence on International Shipping\n16:07 The Evolving Media Landscape\n31:14 The Future of Legacy Media\n31:55 The Evolution of Regional Journalism\n34:00 The Impact of Billionaire Backers on Media\n37:31 The Tension Between Audience and Ownership\n42:35 The Rise of Authenticity in Journalism\n49:23 Transparency and Trust in Modern Media\n56:45 Investing in the Future of Journalism\n"}
