Podwrecked Ep.008

Episode #008

• We explore the rise in True Crime podcasts
• We ask the question, “What is the difference between a journalist, reporter, commentator, and podcaster?”
• We talk about the thinking behind how and why podcasters need the same ethical education and standards as journalists

What did we learn?

• Podcasters should take a serious look at Ethical Storytelling and Reporting standards
• Anyone producing a podcast about news, true crime, or non-fiction should obtain press credentials
• We think that True Crime podcasters should start networking themselves together for safety and credibility.
