Strupp Blog: S.F. CHRONICLE ON THEIR HOMETOWN LEGEND'S DEATH

Robin Williams' hometown newspaper offers up a big front page today:

Available now

Published by Willow Street Press and on Amazon.com.

An in-depth look at the real problems with today's news media -- from staff cutbacks and 24/7 demands for content to reduced advertising revenue, less support for press legal defense and fewer in-house watchdogs to keep the news fair and honest. And, of course, the impact of Donald Trump's constant war on the press and false claims of "fake news."

PBS NewsHour legend Jim Lehrer calls it "a book for anyone who cares about the past, present and future of a free press in our democratic society."

MY PODCASTS

My two new podcasts, Joe's Media Corner and The Retro Room, which launched in September and October, are going strong.

Joe's Media Corner includes insight and examination of today's media issues -- from coverage of sexual assaults to the state of talk radio. Hear all episodes HERE.

The Retro Room offers a nostalgic look at vintage TV, movies and other entertainment with some of the top media insiders and journalists.

Listen HERE.

Both are also downloadable at Apple/iTunes and Google podcasts.
