Victor Pickard talks about recent mega-media mergers, spinoffs and the effort by Trump-supporting oligarchs to buy up media properties that could dramatically impact news coverage and cultural content. He touches on his recent co-written piece, “The Political Economy of the US Media System: Excavating the Roots of the Present Crisis.”
Pickard co-directs the Media, Inequality & Change Center at the Annenberg School for Communications, University of Pennsylvania.
