Journalism, Churnalism and Appeasing the Brand Gods

This week we discuss the concept of ‘churnalism’: a type of journalism that relies on PR packages and repurposing other articles in the writing of stories.

We talk about what it’s like working in the modern-day media industry, the pros and cons of churnalism for both writers and readers, and what it actually means for the future of journalism.
