Description
Regardless of what style of media (print, video, audio, hybrid) publishers are, as always, at the front lines of this latest phase of media disruption. How will audiences find content in an age of increasing, AI-powered search and summary? Do younger audiences even know that there is content outside of Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok? In an increasingly-polarized world where advertisers are ever more concerned about brand safety, how do publishers balance serving their editorial missions and soothing their sources of revenue? This high-stakes panel brings together visionary media leaders to dig into strategies to survive and thrive in a landscape that’s evolving faster than natural selection on a triple espresso.
