Media Voices: University of Oregon's Damian Radcliffe on local journalism in the Pacific Northwest

In this week's episode, the University of Oregon's Carolyn S. Chambers professor in journalism Damian Radcliffe takes us through his latest report into local journalism in the Pacific Northwest: https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/22803 In the news round-up, the gang discuss strict new NYT social media guidelines for journalism, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's statement on moderating news content, and whether publishers should 'punish' audiences who come in through social. We can't stop making analogies; we're like sharks who just have to keep swimming.
