Episode Synopsis

Time Inc has been purchased by Iowa-based media company Meredith, in a $2.8 billion dollar deal. Some of that money came from the billionaire Republican party mega-donors Charles and David Koch, leading some to worry about the editorial influence they could have on the publication. Host Dan Loney talks with Bill Grueskin, Professor of Professional Practice at the Colombia Journalism School and Former Managing Editor of WSJ.com, Stephen Bloom, Professor at University of Iowa's School of Journalism, and Rick Edmonds, Media Business Analyst at Poynter Institute, to discuss what is at stake for Time, Inc on Knowledge@Wharton.
