The Games Press Episode 17: Stephen Totilo (Reporter at Game File)
🕑 Added 2024-01-23 13:22:25 +0000 UTCStephen Totilo has been a games journalist for two decades now, making him one of the most experienced people in the field. His career spans a stint at MTV News as its first ever games reporter, nine years as Kotaku's Editor-in-Chief and until recently, he wrote a twice-weekly gaming newsletter for Axios.
Today, Stephen is looking to strike out on his own with Game File, an independent newsletter published on Substack and funded directly by his audience.
"I have concerns about a younger generation of reporters finding a footing, coming up, because we are seeing in the elimination of a lot of these jobs, lesser opportunity for people who are still trying to make a name for themselves and do it in a way that is sustainable. But, what I see in aggregate is more outlets, right now, committed to covering games than I saw several years ago."

Just now got around to listening to it - this was one of my favorite episodes yet, he was a great interviewee and that ending about kids was a really nice capstone. I always appreciate when you release another one of these, cheers!
