What it's like to be a journalist in Latvia and Estonia? How do journalists perceive their audiences and how does audiences perceive journalists and their work in both countries? These and other important questions are discussed in the second episode of the podcast Media & Society with the podcast host Līga Ozoliņa. The conversation features two journalism scholars from Latvia and Estonia – Rīga Stradiņš University professor Anda Rožukalne and Associate Professor in Sociology of Journalism at the University of Tartu Ragne Kõuts-Klemm.
