Can American Media Survive Trump and Billionaire Owners?

The gutting of the Washington Post.  Abrupt changes at CBS. Caving to extravagant but frivolous Trump lawsuits. Are some of the richest and most powerful corporate tycoons ruining American journalism -- and will more takeovers make things even worse? Is democracy dying in broad daylight? Three frontline journalists look at the dangers and what lies ahead. 

Panelists: Joe Davidson, Veteran former Washington Post columnist, Margaret Sullivan, Columnist for The Guardian US, Max Tani, New York-based journalist covering media for Semafor. Moderator: Julian Sher, Journalist and author. Senior Fellow, Centre for Free Expression.
