Years ago, Ricky Sutton kicked off a quiet ritual: single malt in hand, real stories shared among mates in the business. No filters, no fluff—just raw, honest truths about the media world. He called it ‘Scotch & Watch’, and it stuck.
Now, he’s bringing that same energy to ONA. Expect bold reflections, unvarnished conversations, and the kind of perspective you won’t find on a panel. This is journalism—real, unfiltered, and worth talking about.
For this special edition, Ricky is joined by Niketa Patel, CEO of the Online News Association, to dive into the role ONA plays in shaping what’s next for journalism. Industry groups aren’t just representing members anymore—they’re guiding them through change, helping them experiment, and ensuring the future of journalism is built by those willing to try new things. And ONA stands out because it’s not about defending the past—it’s about building what’s next.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your appetite for a frank conversation that mixes sharp insights with a healthy dose of honesty.
