In this episode we hear from digital journalism scholar Gregory Perreault, who discusses how power and justice is distributed among news outlets and reporting niches, and how the internet and digital technology has generated hostility towards journalism.

Trying to make sense of the relentless shifts in our media landscape can feel overwhelming. Demystifying Media at the University of Oregon exists to pull back the curtain on that process, offering a grounded space for understanding. Stemming from the Hearst Demystifying Media Series within the UO School of Journalism and Communication, this podcast is hosted by professor Damian Radcliffe, who guides conversations that feel more like insightful seminars than formal interviews. You’ll hear directly from leading media practitioners, innovators, and scholars who are shaping the field right now. Episodes dig into the practical realities of digital developments in journalism and communication, exploring their implications for business, entrepreneurship, and the broader technological tools that redefine how stories are told and consumed. Rather than offering abstract theory, the discussions focus on tangible changes and future possibilities, making complex ideas accessible. It’s a resource for anyone curious about the forces transforming our information ecosystem, from students and educators to professionals navigating these changes daily. Tune in for a thoughtful analysis of the evolving relationships between creators, audiences, and the platforms that connect them.
