Stacey Henley is Editor-in-Chief of the website TheGamer (thegamer.com), a newer outlet experiencing year-over-year growth while settling comfortably into its progressive-embracing mantra. She joins me (Colin) on the show to discuss the nature of modern games journalism, full stop. But more than that, we get into the weeds when it comes to the coverage of political and social issues, the ideologically unbalanced rosters of legacy media, the corporate capture of leftwing politics in entertainment, the split between the podcast-slash-YouTube audience and those still reading websites, and so much more. More than anything, though, let this episode be yet more proof that two people who disagree on many issues can do so productively, and dare we even say cordially.
