#18 Columbus 2.0: Austin This Week

columbusthisweek — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 15:48:10 -0400

Have you ever wondered why clickbait is so darned effective? Probably not, but that question is designed to draw you in regardless. Luckily for you, it turns out that exploiting your easily manipulated primate brain isn't paying dividends for news orgs anymore, and some of your least favorite news media are probably cutting their staff as we speak. Why is this happening? Tune in to find out (yes, that was more shameless attention highjacking)
