Another media outlet bites the dust, in the latest edition of Signals & Noise

We're beginning to run out of shoes. Another shoe dropped in the media business of late, when Medford CBS affiliate KTVL stopped producing local newscasts, four months after the Mail Tribune newspaper went out of business (in the same building!). That's just one media item up for discussion on this month's edition of our media overview, Signals & Noise. Our regulars return, Christopher Lucas of Southern Oregon University and Jessie Cretser-Hartenstein of Cal Poly-Humboldt. We discuss the news business, covering a presidential candidate facing indictment and court verdicts, and our panelists give their top three media choices for the month.

Anything, anywhere, once a month

Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems continued a very public court battle over the truth, and the big Oscars went to a film that nearly defies description. Seems like we can find a few things to talk about in our media overview, Signals & Noise. Our regulars return, Christopher Lucas of Southern Oregon University and Jessie Cretser-Hartenstein of Cal Poly-Humboldt. We discuss the media happenings of recent weeks, and our panelists give their top three media choices for the month. Panelist "Pick Three" JESSIE: 1) GAMES to increase media literacy (and combat and measure misinformation, disinformation, & propaganda) Bad News Go Viral Breaking Harmony Square Cat Park 2) WEBSITES for Fact-Checking NPR FactCheck Snopes FactCheck.org PolitiFact 3) PODCAST Ear Hustle brings you the daily realities of life inside prison shared by those living it, and stories from the outside, post-incarceration.

News deserts and CSPAN cameras

It wasn't THAT long ago that both Medford and Ashland had daily newspapers, delivered physically and available online. The Daily Tidings and Mail Tribune ended up owned by the same people, and those people got out of the business, with the Mail Tribune ceasing all operations with the January 13th issue online. There should be little doubt about the first topic on this month's edition of Signals & Noise, our media overview. Our regulars return, Christopher Lucas of Southern Oregon University and Jessie Cretser-Hartenstein of Cal Poly-Humboldt. We discuss the news business and the use of the CSPAN cameras in the U.S. House, and our panelists give their top three media choices for the month. The Pick Three Lists for January: JESSIE Humboldt Hot Air, the new local Internet radio station The GLAAD Media Award nominations for this year Sheng Wang's Netflix comedy special CHRIS CNN's documentary on Dionne Warwick the after-the-apocalypse series "The Last of Us," on HBO Support your local theater, Chris says, and go see "When You Finish Saving the World"
