Summary
In episode 283 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas analyzes why metal media, and media more broadly, are contracting. Do we even still need print journalists now that we have content creators, influencers, and short-form content?

Let's analyze why this happened and what the effects will be, and let me know what you think!
