They didn't count on the fact that everybody, you know, if something happens in Syria, that suspect that it's going to go on the internet and be posted and they can't get away with it anymore before the turnaround time.
Imagine the vibrant news scene of Hawaii in the 1970s, where investigative reporting was just starting to gain momentum. In this episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', host Sean Dustin chats with Scott Shirai, a seasoned investigative reporter who became a household name on the islands. Scott's career wasn't just about uncovering stories; it was about standing up for the truth, even when it meant facing legal battles.
He shares gripping tales from his days as a reporter, where he often found himself in court for refusing to reveal his sources. Scott also reflects on how the media landscape has changed over the years, moving from locally owned outlets to corporate giants. The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss the influence of big tech and the military-industrial complex on today's media.
Scott's insights are not just historical but also a wake-up call for the younger generation, highlighting the need for vigilance and potential for change. If you're curious about the evolution of investigative journalism and its impact on society, this episode is a must-listen.
