In the mid-2010s, television journalist and former chief White
House correspondent Jessica Yellin left her job at CNN to go
independent. A few years later, she founded News Not Noise, a
multi-platform news outlet that publishes all across the
internet (mainly on Substack, Instagram and YouTube). It made
Yellin one of the first journalists to ditch mainstream media for
social media, and it’s given her a unique perspective on the
challenges and opportunities facing independent journalists,
newsfluencers, and content creators in a crowded media
environment. In a live interview hosted by the Center
for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison,
earlier this fall, Kara and Jessica talk about what it takes to be
a successful online news creator, the effects President Trump’s
attacks on fact-based journalism have had on the news business as a
whole, and how news creators can adapt to changing social media
algorithms and AI. They also talk about solutions that could help
the entire news industry in an era of waning public trust.
