In this episode of the Media Innovation Podcast, hosts Lars Anderson and Philippe Remarque discuss the latest international developments in news media with media researcher Nic Newman.

A former journalist and senior researcher for the Reuters Institute, Newman was the lead author of the highly cited Digital News Report for fourteen editions and continues to author the Journalism and Technology Trends & Predictions report. He knows exactly where the publishing industry is heading.

We discuss the explosive rise of the creator economy and why traditional newsrooms must highlight authentic personalities to retain audience trust. We take a deep dive into changing content strategies, exploring why publishers should stop trying to reach 'everybody'. Lastly, we look at AI's true impact: the existential threat of 'answer engines,' the disruptive power of one-person AI newsrooms, and whether AI is actually as transformational as innovators claim.
