S6 EP 2: Accountability and Media Outsiders with The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur
The Young Turks co-founder and host Cenk Uygur stops by The Webby Podcast to talk about the nascent days of TYT, how they've transformed the media industry, and more.
“ For people who are used to traditional media, the way our show grew out of the Internet is inconceivable...it was completely done with the audience.”
Cenk Uygur and his online news show The Young Turks are known for keeping it real.
That willingness to embrace what other political news programs won’t say is what’s kept TYT popular since its premiere in 2002.
Uygur joins Webby Podcast host David-Michel Davies to discuss the nascent days of TYT, building its online show with audience help, the inner workings of progressive media, and what we should expect ahead of the 2020 election.
