If you want to avoid dystopia, you're going to need plenty of independent journalists. Why else would so many great works of dystopian fiction make a point of describing how the press has been muzzled, marginalized or eradicated?

To learn more, Meg and Toby talk to Clay Wirestone, the news editor at the Topeka Capital-Journal in Topeka, Kansas and a writer whose work has appeared in Mental Floss and many other places. We discuss the importance of independent watchdog journalism and run through recent threats to press freedoms in the U.S.

Also: Clay explains why, sometimes, facts just aren't enough. Toby talks about why he used a reporter as a character in his novels. Meg recommends It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis ... and tells listeners about a Radio Free Dystopia drinking game that's apparently becoming a thing. #journalism #dystopia #PressOn
