How Local TV News LOST Its Soul

Local TV news used to be the trusted place where communities got the facts. But today, something’s changed—and not always for the better. In this episode, I sit down with veteran anchor Elex Michaelson, who pulls back the curtain on the dramatic shifts inside America’s local newsrooms.

What’s driving the changes? From corporate takeovers and cookie-cutter scripts to the loss of investigative grit, Michaelson exposes how profit motives and political agendas have transformed local stations from watchdogs into watered-down infotainment. Viewers are noticing—and tuning out.

We’ll break down the biggest shifts, why they matter, and how the decline of local TV news leaves a dangerous vacuum in our communities. This is a candid, eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss.
