EPISODE 178: WALTER KIRN AND THE COUNTY HIGHWAY

The future of journalism and community may lie in a sharp little broadsheet being published from America's heartland by some the country’s premier writers. Acclaimed American author and essayist Walter Kirn is one of the people behind it and he tells Trish about why centring news coverage away from big city elites revitalizes a dying industry. Together they explore the joy of small-town life, the mysteries of Donald Trump and why beat reporting still has merit.
