## Resource

Welcome to Crashed, the tech podcast about everything else. Today, that means the myth of journalism collapsing, the myth of politicians being anywhere near up-to-date with anything, and the myth that data centers are fine We’re currently in the web traffic apocalypse, the jobpocalypse, the quantum apocalypse, and the wars on many fronts actual apocalypse, with the media collapsing, trust in democracy collapsing, and journalists only being trusted more than estate agents. Can journalism be saved? And, given there are over twice as many journalists than in the 1970s, is the media industry just panicking over nothing? We're joined by the fabulous Sophia Smith Galer (https://www.instagram.com/sophiasgaler/?hl=en) to discuss where journalism might go next.
