    Is Mainstream Media Dead?

    In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Tushar about a claim being made constantly by folks on social media, especially YouTubers and Instagram content creators, along with their PR agencies. All of them claim that mainstream media is dead and that people, especially the youth, do not go to them for their news. What do the numbers say? Also, is mainstream media dead, or are they actually in their best phase thanks to the internet and independent content creators using them to create their content? I also want to thank Sougat Chakraborty, who helped me dig up the numbers for these channels/handles online.
