GameStop right now, thank you very much - a podcast by ABC Radio

The internet was meant to democratise everything from content to ideas. But there’s another edge on that sword and it turns out we aren’t really prepared for it. This week: a video game store, Wall Street and the front page of the internet go to war… not entirely sure who wins.

Plus, media companies want Google and Facebook to pay for news. The ACCC is pushing legislation to make that happen. Google says it breaks the concept of a free searchable web and instead have proposed a new idea for journalism. But will it work and will it break the stalemate?

Guests: Peter Marks, freelance app developer & Natasha Gillezeau, technology, marketing and media journalist Australian Financial Review
