The Podcast as Journalism

What the podcast format produces for journalism and where its limitations are

The Form

The podcast has become one of the most significant journalism delivery mechanisms of the past decade, producing the specific journalism that the audio narrative form enables -- the long-form interview, the documentary audio journalism, the news analysis programme -- at a scale and audience reach that print journalism alone cannot produce in the current media environment.

The Journalism Dimension

The journalism dimension of the podcast: the investigative podcasts that have produced significant accountability journalism -- Serial, In The Dark, Reveal -- demonstrate what the audio form produces when applied with journalism rigour. The news podcast that provides daily briefings produces a different and less rigorous journalism product. Both are podcasts. Both are journalism of a kind. The distinctions matter for the accountability journalism that the coverage requires.

JournoNews Coverage

JournoNews covers the podcast as journalism because the accountability journalism of the journalism profession requires examining the specific forms that journalism is taking and whether those forms are producing the accountability journalism that the profession exists to provide.
