Game Journalism Panel
summary
Panel argues game coverage shifts from reviews to cultural criticism and audience-built platforms, citing concrete steps and outcomes: a blog gets a Sony boost that opens industry doors, a podcast Spawn on Me podcast builds a community spotlighting creators of color, crowdfunding brings Patreon $100/month proof that small support sustains work, a public spreadsheet of black media contacts connects mentors to newcomers, and a site-level change like IGN "other reviews by author" footer surfaces author voice for readers.
