The American journalism industry is in crisis - layoffs, strikes,
and site shutdowns have some people talking about the potential
extinction of the the news industry as we know it. Just last week,
VICE Media announced their plans to layoff hundreds of employees
and halt website operations. Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post
online culture and technology columnist, joins the show to unpack
what is at stake with the continued media closures and
layoffs.

Then, Brittany is joined by Deva Woodly, a professor of Political
Science at Brown University. They discuss Aaron Bushnell's
self-immolation outside the Israeli embassy in DC. They look at how
this extreme act of protest is unique and how it might impact the
ongoing conflict in Gaza.
