När journalistiken avskaffas

Nedskärningarna fortsätter år efter år. Hur påverkas samhället när redaktioner läggs ner och reportrar sägs upp?

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app.

I flera decennier har journalistikens resurser krympt. Färre reportrar på mindre redaktioner måste göra mer jobb på kortare tid. Hur påverkar det själva innehållet i våra tidningar, radiosändningar och TV-program?

Vad orsakade journalistikens kris och varför är det så svårt att ha en ekonomisk modell som fungerar? Hur påverkas samhället när journalister tar jobb inom PR-industrin? Vad hände med dom nya, digitala mediehusen? Och varför har det blivit så farligt att rapportera från krig och konflikter?

P3 Dystopia undersöker vad som håller på att hända med vår egen bransch.
