This Week in Digital Media

Most weeks we find a new person to takeover as the host of "This Week in Digital Media." The host will text 1-2 times a day M-F about their expertise in journalism/media. We try and bring in a variety of experts, so one week might be about podcasting and the next about AR or business topics. You can text back questions, etc, and maybe even host yourself one week. Our emcee is the co-founder of Subtext, David Cohn.
