Interview: Ben Smith on the US election

Today, we're launching the second season of our News Club interview
series! This time, we're unpacking the biggest stories of the year
– kicking off with the US election. Our first guest is Ben Smith,
former media reporter for The New York Times, political reporter
for Politico, and ex-editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News. Two years
ago, he launched Semafor, a media company tackling the issue of
polarization. Ben shares his insights on how the media is playing
into this election, plus what it's like being in the US right now.
He’s met Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, has stories from covering
Barack Obama’s election, and even a cracking tale about the
Clintons. You can check out Semafor here Want more News Club in
