Podcast vs. Local News: An Either-Or Proposition?

Judith Smelser, Elaine Appleton Grant, Sandra Clark
2021 - Redefining Public Media Virtual Conference

Many stations - especially small and midsize ones - may have to choose between a new quest for podcast excellence and the old dream of becoming primary news sources for their communities. In this session, we’ll explore these tensions and address how stations might begin to prioritize rather than falling victim to the more-with-less fallacy. We’ll also look at ways to ensure station podcasts continue to put accuracy, localism, and public service first, even amid the pressures of a hyper-competitive environment that often favors a compelling narrative over the truth.
