On the ground with Jordan Chariton
Episode 45 with Jordan Chariton
This week, we’re thrilled to bring on a guest with truly unique experience in on-the-ground, alternative media reporting. Jordan Chariton runs Status Coup, which offers essential, in-the-field coverage of the stories CNN and MSNBC don’t want to tell — but we all want to hear. Now, for example, as Buffalo prepares to go to the polls for its widely publicized mayoral race, Jordan has interviewed India Walton, a socialist and the Democratic candidate on the ticket, to learn more about her candidacy, what she stands for, and the massive establishment opposition she’s getting. (Byron Brown, whom she vanquished in the Democratic primary for the mayoralty, mounted a write-in campaign after refusing to accept defeat.)
From an Intercept story on the wiping of top officials’ phones during investigation of the Flint water crisis, to the extensive reporting Jordan has done on his channel on labor struggles, the 2020 election, and more, Jordan is a major name in independent media. Through this week’s episode, you’ll get to hear about the ins and outs of running a major independent news outlet, traveling cross-country to cover the biggest stories from a leftist perspective, the issues Jordan thinks everyone should be paying attention to, and more. Tune in as a paid subscriber to watch the conversation on Friday, or stream the audio on Saturday when it drops on Pandora, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Substack, and more.
oh hell yeah, was really hoping for this one
Great stuff. Jordan is a true independent leftist journalist, up there with the likes of Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal.
