What is the state of journalism today, and where is it headed? At the Epoch Times Insider Forum, Bay Area Innovators host Steve Ispas caught up with past guests from the show, gathered under one roof like a small reunion, and asked each of them the same three questions. How do they see the state of journalism in the United States right now? What are they working on? And what do they think of The Epoch Times? Guests talked about political polarization, the shift from advertising and subscriptions to clicks, and the rise of podcasts and independent voices. They also shared their latest projects, from books and investments to community work, and heard from an Epoch Times leader on how the organization began in a basement in Atlanta in 2000. Bay Area Innovators was built on one idea: Find the people shaping our society and let them tell their stories in their own words. This special edition looks back at some of those voices, and at what they think about the news today. Where do you get your news, and what would you want from journalism in the years ahead? Let us know in the comments. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
