The Reframers are discussing journalism this week. We review the messy history of journalism going back to the founding, and how it has evolved over time.

This week, our producer Kassie takes over the podcast and asks Zach and Erin questions, off the cuff! This was a fun episode to record and we think you will really enjoy this week's show.
