schestowitz"strong disagree. if it’s ok to protest mistreatment of associates without quitting a job, as he writes, why should it not be ok to protest mistreatment of society at large (including associates) without quitting the job? you can even protest a shop as a potential customer, if you find its products unacceptable (e.g. discriminatory, fraudulent, harmful), since being a paying customer is being invited to participate in making the Jan 15 00:41

schestowitz"Cody, thanks for your perceptive comments. Regarding the advantage of having a recognizable brand, I agree with you, but in a nuanced way. Fifteen years ago I was arguing that strong brands would enable their owners to implement a paywall and the like for on-line contents. My point in the blog is that podcasts may help print increase subscriptions for print even for those journals that do not have the clout of The New York Times. Jan 15 11:00
schestowitzSpeaking for myself, I resisted subscribing to the Times until I was won over by The Daily. Was I a consumer universe of one? Probably not. Are podcasts a panacea? Probably not. Will they help? Probably yes. To what extent? We watch and see and welcome PhD candidates such as yourself to help us understand better what is going on."Jan 15 11:00

schestowitzThis was an interesting post which I think highlights one of the (several) roles podcasts can be seen to play in the broader digital media ecosystem. My own Master's research (unpublished, but working on it) looked at similar calls for support in the realm of independent podcasting (which is to say, not associated with big publications like the New York Times). A lot of creators in that sphere also use their platforms to promote Jan 15 11:00
schestowitzother work of theirs, like books, live shows, or merchandise.Jan 15 11:00
schestowitzWith respect to print journalism, though, I wonder if it might be too optimistic to see podcasting as coming to the rescue of a struggling industry. I would note that the examples cited (the New York Times and New Yorker) can leverage international reach, recognisable brands, and already large subscriber bases. Smaller publications without these advantages may see some benefit from podcasting cross-promotion, but I think there is anJan 15 11:00
schestowitzopen question as to how much this strategy scales if you're not regularly on the front page of the Apple Podcasts app. The "winner-takes-most" phenomenon is widespread in tech; I suspect it may operate here as well. (And then there are the many local newspapers that have already been felled by the digital transition and venture capital which don't seem to be coming back.)Jan 15 11:00
