The latest episodes from On the Media

Staying Alive
This year has seen record layoffs in the media industry, with some digital news giants closing down altogether.

Plus, instead of reaching for top profits, some new publications have opted for a humbler mission: survival.

2. OTM correspondent Micah Loewinger [@MicahLoewinger] examines why The New York Times is expanding, and thriving, even amongst record layoffs at other media outlets. Listen.
3. OTM correspondent Micah Loewinger [@MicahLoewinger] takes a look at a growing cohort of new outlets around the US trying to wrestle journalism away from big capital through a co-operative business model. Listen.
