On this week’s Media Project, Judy, Rosemary, Barbara and Ian talk about the trolling of Wall Street reporter after she dared to ask the Indian Prime Minister a question about human rights, whether or not the cable news networks dropped the ball on the Russian insurrection, and the media’s use of freelancers for staff.  

This week the panel discusses what’s happening at Twitter, and possibly journalism, under the leadership of Elon Musk, the peril journalists face around the world, a new female editor at the Wall Street Journal, and more.

The Media Project is an inside look at media coverage of current events with WAMC’s CEO Alan Chartock, former Times Union Editor and current Substack columnist Rex Smith, Judy Patrick, former Editor of the Daily Gazette and Vice President for Editorial Development for the New York Press Association, and Daily Freeman Publisher Emeritus Ira Fusfeld. On this week’s Media Project, Alan, Ira, Judy and Rex talk about whether President Biden should be holding more press conferences, layoffs and hiring freezes in the media and what that means, a survey of your favorite journalism movies, and much more.
