In these interesting, complex times we live in, it is common sense we need investigative and explanatory journalism more than ever. But original reporting and good journalism are costly and hardly profitable. Moreover, the media are trying to adapt in the “Attention Economy” and get their stories read, listened or watched by as many people as possible.
Τhis panel will explore if there is room for alternative media models and sustainable innovation that could disrupt/reshape the existing one.
It will discuss if in 2024 every company is a tech company, and debate the conclusion that tech has obliterated media, turning them into raiders of the algorithmic arc.
It will also examine alternative sources of income, print experiments in a digital world, hybrid models in terms of infrastructure and how technology and thinking outside the box can help us redefine “platform democracy” and the quest of truth in order to serve the public interest.
