Richard Oppel: The future of print journalism, a re-mix
Apr 16, 2021 Season 2 Episode 14
Richard Stone/Richard Oppel

I stumbled across this conversation with Richard Oppel a couple days ago and was struck by how well it holds up. Since the original podcast was one of our very first, it didn’t reach a very big audience but Rich and I covered some important issues … so I went back to the original files and re-edited it … 

Richard was the editor of the Austin American Statesman and, before that, led the Charlotte Observer to three Pulitzers. We talked about how the future of print journalism is in a transition to digital, the role social media plays in that transformation and why you can trust what you read in most of the country’s newspapers.
