THE AGE OF THE SELF-MADE MEDIA WH*RE
UPDATE: With Trump's attack on Iran, we'll be discussing this shitty escalation — war, journalism, political powerlessness, and the end of the myth "information is power."
--
Yasha and Evgenia are joined by veteran journalist Moe Tkacik — cofounder of Gawker’s Jezebel (which was destroyed by Peter Thiel) and now an investigations editor at The Prospect — to discuss a topic they know all too well: the DEATH OF JOURNALISM.
Political movements have collapsed, journalism has no power, nihilism is running high, and doom is near, but the influencers are doing well. They are at the center of our culture, inhabiting all platforms, riding the news cycle, doing strategic pandering, working for clicks and subs. Is there still hope?
Event will feature a surprise short film screening of Evgenia's film D8DDY, followed by a talk and Q&A.
Location: KGB Bar.
Buy tickets in advance. $20.
PS: By popular demand we will have a break in the middle so that people can drink and mingle.
