News As Infotainment

Zan Azlee and Matt Armitage join Kam Raslan on another fun-filled episode of A Bit of Culture to tackle Godzilla, AI and the news! Kam starts the show by talking about his recent experience watching Godzilla Minus One, and whether there are other equivalent “monsters” in other cultures. Then, it’s Zan’s turn to put on his journalist hat and talk about journalism in the age of AI, and whether it’s a boon, or a bane for the industry. Matt follows up on that topic by then talking about news and how they’re treated more like infotainment these days, informing, but also trying to “entertain” audiences. It’s one that you don’t want to miss, so tune in!
