Ash Sarkar on how to scale independent media and have real impact
5/19/202644 min
Novara Media's Ash Sarkar knows a thing or two about starting (and growing!) an independent media company.
In this special episode, the British journalist and author sits down with Antoinette Lattouf for a conversation about independent media, political journalism and the danger of "audience capture".
They unpack the rise of indie media in the UK, failures of the BBC, “objectivity” in journalism, and whether mainstream media can still hold power to account.
Plus: Ash’s defamation win and the pressures facing independent outlets in the age of AI.

[singing] My perfect day has sand, salt water, and friends. [dog barks] But my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis can take me out of the moment. Now I'm all-in with clearer skin, thanks to SKYRIZI, risankizumab-rzaa, a prescription-only 150 milligram injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy. With SKYRIZI, most people saw 90% clearer skin and many were even 100% plaque-free at four months. SKYRIZI is just four doses a year after two starter doses.
