Forward-thinking journalists are doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. 404 Media's Jason Koebler and ProPublica’s Ben Werdmuller join fediverse futurist Mike McCue for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism. This new episode of the Dot Social podcast is a good listen for anyone in the media industry; it contains many insights from industry vets who've been experimenting with decentralized social media for some time now.

Bluesky Social founder and CEO Jay Graber says social media is stagnating because "we're in this trap where users are locked in and developers are locked out."
