Who killed journalism? Once upon a time we all read newspapers. Now the US president tells us that's fake news while Aunty Jean is talking chemtrails with great authority because Facebook told her so. So who killed journalism? Was it social media? The algorithm? The 24-hour news cycle? Clickbait? Sociopathic billionaires?

Spin Cycle hosts Jess Lilley, Rachel Withers and Charlie Lewis are joined by Raf Epstein (774 ABC Melbourne), Antoun Issa (co-founder of Deepcut News) and Najma Sambul (freelance journalist and writer) to help crack the case. It's an audio whodunnit where our guests bring their best theories and we work through the evidence together. Expect strong opinions, uncomfortable truths, and most likely more questions than answers.
