Vanderhei nails it. "We in the media need to do more with less; demand excellence at all levels at all times, like other free-market industries; confidently and quickly throw out ideas that no longer work; jump on new ideas and technologies to do things better, faster and more efficiently; and listen closer to what readers like you want or need — then deliver it without dithering." https://lnkd.in/g8rk6ixx

What I found interesting about this take in The New York Times on changes and challenges in the media industry is the reminder that, while eyeballs on traditional news content and sources continue to shrink, people aren’t necessarily consuming less. Whether longform podcasts, our own social media feeds, or videos served to us through a YouTube algorithm, people may be spending more time interacting with news than ever before. But our very concept of “news” in this sense is shifting as publishers navigate changing dynamics (and their audiences’ expectations) around journalism and entertainment. The new channels this content is consumed on – many of which include direct comments and participation from the public – also don’t usually fit neatly into either category. One thing is clear: the consolidation of influence and power is shifting from the fourth to fifth estate. It’s also clear that this shift’s impact is profound not only for media companies, but for society at large. What do you think these changes will bring? https://lnkd.in/eGtZNXX7

I am naturally analytical, and I love diving into the mechanics of things—media being no exception, of course. That's why I found Charlotte Klein's piece in NY Mag on the evolution of the U.S. media landscape so exciting to read. The search for the right business model, the rise of niche audiences, the question of what defines good journalism today, whether scoops are still king, how we are shaping future generations of readers, the spotlight on new formats to access news and stories, who holds the keys to the control room in media today, and the ongoing debate about AI’s role in journalism—these are all questions that also resonate in Europe, despite the more fragmented media landscape here. And just as importantly, they highlight how we, as comms and PR professionals, need to rethink our role and approach to keep up with this (r)evolution. https://lnkd.in/dfusTMkv #media
