INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Jeremy Murphy.

Price and Murphy discuss the crisis in local journalism today.

Local journalism faces a host of pressing challenges. Declining revenues, stemming from dwindling traditional advertising and fierce competition from digital giants like Google and Facebook, have strained the financial viability of local news outlets. The digital shift in news consumption, coupled with the rise of misinformation, has eroded trust and disrupted traditional business models. Limited resources, including staff and budget constraints, have led to reduced coverage and compromised reporting quality. Moreover, many local newsrooms struggle with issues of diversity and inclusion, both in staffing and coverage. These obstacles collectively threaten the crucial role that local journalism plays in informing communities and fostering civic engagement. Addressing these issues necessitates innovative business models, community engagement efforts, technological adaptability, and policy support to ensure the continued vitality of local journalism. These issues and more are covered in this important segment.

According to a statement, “Jeremy Murphy is a sarcastic, embittered veteran of the media industry. Founder of 360bespoke, a respected boutique PR agency in New York, Murphy handles a full roster of clients in the lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and start-up fields. Previously, he was Vice President of Communications at CBS, where he worked for 14 years. There, he oversaw PR for many of its divisions and created its glossy magazine Watch. Murphy started as a journalist, working with Knight Ridder newspapers and Mediaweek. He is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University and lives in New York with his cat, Champers.”
